I totally have to agree with trippy+hirsuite's views on here..I feel very homesick looking at this.The so called redevelopment has destroyed much of Liverpool's heritage,,.Those crumbling warehouses ,old cobbled roads had a very magical feel,fragments+memories of a bygone age.
.Thanks for posting this,I am amazed that people don't realise what a "green"+truly beautiful city Liverpool is.,I live in Hove, East Sussex+walk miles to see one tree! lol..Cheers,best wishes Sophie
its the same in leeds, all the industrial victorian warehouses along the river in & around the city have been demolished & replaced with wall to wall chrome & plastic babble! all for the the yuppies ofcourse!. leeds used to look quite old & gothic'ish, part beautiful/ part grim industrial grime, etc etc (WHICH SOMEHOW GAVE IT MORE CHARM) now the place looks like some sort of hideous spasmodic lego land designed by children!!
all very well when we're told that these areas are "redeveloped" and re-vitalised(huh!) but for whose benefit? No one talks of what was lost here, it seems so easily forgotten. Whole infrastructures of society dismantled and destroyed in on e fell swoop. And now forgotten...

I totally agree. That's why I made my Old Swan vids. My big regret is that I wasn't snap happy when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s.

Nice vid. When I was a kid in the mid 80's me and my mates used to break into the old dis-used warehouses
