Almost too late, hope it works out.

Both shots compliment each other......makes me appreciate the whole "picture".

Well done, I like it.

This looks a bit like Hanover Street, and, if it is, is part of the £1bn (US$2bn) new development that is transforming the city, and causing Gerald Grosvenor a big headache

 

As you can see, they are retaining this elevation, for incorporation into a new building. Underneath the soot and the flyposting, will be a worthy elevation.

 

Liverpool has had a reputation for under-investment and mal-administration over 50 years. For the last decade, this has not been the case, and I have never known a city be transformed in such a wholesale fashion, so quickly. I am proud to say that I am responsible for two new offices under construction in the city, with another going into planning next month. These are the precursors to a £500m scheme to create a new business quarter, larger than Spinningfields in Manchester.

 

Liverpool is a great city.

It's just down the hill from the proddy cathedral, on the right somewhere. I'm really glad that these facades are being saved; too many have been swept away, replaced by apartment blocks with grey metal railings on unusable narrow balconies.

 

They're called "Juliet" balconies and meant for leaning on not standing on.
