21 April Blot on the Landscape of Liverpool
What on earth are the architects trying to do? For as many years as I care to remember the above building in a prime location on Lime Street in Liverpool,has been disliked by everyone.You step out of Lime Street Station an look up at this dingy empty office block. The frontage to Lime Street Station should be sorted out and quick. Just when everyone was waiting for the monstrosity to be blown to oblivion, a group of architects have come forward with the idea of saving it and cladding the outside and refurbishing the inside. I am all in favour of saving money, but they would have to come up with something pretty spectacular and some very eyecatching cladding to fix this one.All that would cost money too. I am more for the idea of blowing it up and letting us see the Victorian Facade of Lime Street Station. I can remember looking out of a top floor window in Lewis's department store and being amazed at the structure of the glass and iron roof.The shops seen here in the picture are also an eyesore and scruffy, this is the first glimpse rail travellers will see of our city, so lets sort it out. What we do not need it yet another glass menagerie office block. or student accommodation. What would be nice is a seating area or plaza so you can wait for the train or buses in a nice environment, but I do not suppose for one minute we will get that. Comments (1)
