This is the real outcome today.
An example of short sightedness in thus City is remember the out cry to Alsops cloud proposal?
...What did Liver get instead..the monolithic blocks on Mann Island .
I remember going to the Walker Art Gallery to see the four proposals. Going in pretty much blind, with no preconceptions, Alsop's was the first I saw and I instantly loathed it. When we left I said to my then gf, "I liked them all except that first one. Bet you anything that's the one they go for."
In all truth, they should never have demolished the art-deco car showroom that was there. But it was a prime piece of land that they were desperate to develop, and honestly I prefer the blocks to that fucking cloud.
But if those didn't cost us WH status, then Liverpool Waters or BMD shouldn't either.
