Could we do with this stickified? What does averyone think? :?

Good idea Gareth, lets get it sticky

Definitely a crane installed at the Malmaison site and one on the Hatton Garden development.

Gareth thanks for bringing this thread to life again.


Malmaison, picture I posted previously on the Princes Dock thread, I will get a Hatton Garden pic later this week.

Thanks for the photo, Doug. :cheers:

I don't like the way Unity doesn't have any Mersey view windows on the lower to mid floors, only once the set back starts and the penthouses start do you get a sea view!

Then dont' t buy one and fork out for a penthouse you cheapskate ! ;)

You do make a good point though - its seems strange that the end of the residential block has a blank wall rather than direct views of the river. That said, when I visited the show flat it seemed that the apartments go right through the buildling (probably why its so thin ) and that you have views to north and south.

Any direct views will be blocked by the cruise liner tower anyway and w'ell have the same moaners as at Beetham who think they have devine right to an unrestricted river view forever.

Probably should get back on thread.

Cranes - hate em - they keep nicking my fish.

CABE pointed out that odd feature of the Unity tower. I think they have done it that way for structural reasons as the heavy concrete cross-walls give the building lateral stability. I hope they put some decent cladding on that blank wall.

Didn't realise Unity had a show flat in Los Angeles.

Hi Gareth, many thanks for bringing this thread back to life, I was delighted to see it. :cheers:

Noticed a crane base gone in on the Debenhams site in Lord Street.

Here it is.

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2479/s56yl.jpg (http://imageshack.us)



Update, 7th crane on PSDA, John Lewis site, and crane removed from the Argyle St development.

Doug,

Great photo. You must have been on the roof of the Paradise Street car park around the same time I was.

I got it wrong, that crane base is on the Argos site, Debenhams is on the left hand site, where Chavasse Court used to be.

Amazing how impressive Cavern Walks looks from there.

The pilers must be coming to the end of their shifts then if the tower crane is going to be moving in on site, though i hope the site comes further back than we can see other wise it won't be a very big dpt store

Thanks Martin, I was on the top floor of MSCP about 11:30am no-one up there but me. Cavern Walks is often overlooked quite a number of people work in there.

Difficult to say how big this site (Argos) will be with the service road at the rear.

Theres a portable crane thingy behind the Greens gym on the way to Otterspool. I think its a David Mclean phase 2 development. Anyone know how tall this is going to be as i'm sure its on the site of the Herculaneum Tower site. A while ago when the tower was rejected i heard the new development would be 10 stories. Any ideas?

So it's been a while since someone updated the count, how are we looking?

PSDA - 8
Hanover Street - 2
Unity - 3
Malmaison - 1
Circle 101 - 1
Hatton Garden - 1

I make that 16.

Plus as mentioned by Ste a portable crane at Herculaneum Tower.

Quick question, as I'm still relatively new to this - do cranes outside the city centre count? As a semi-permanent, non-tower crane has been up on the site of Rathbone Hospital off Edge Lane for several weeks now. If we count the above two, that's a total of 18.

Feel free to correct, I've probably got a few wrong.

^^ Are you sure about there being 8 cranes on PDSA? There were 7 last time I checked, though there were only 6 the time before that.

The Cirlce 109 Crane has now gone folks, may it rest in peace.

TBH, I'm not certain at there being 8. I can see 7 for definate on the webcam, but I'm having trouble deciding whether there is another. The green ones, are definate, the red one I'm really not sure about.
http://www.ukmovies.myby.co.uk/PSDA Cranes.jpg

I suspect you're including the two on paradise street. In that case, there should be 9.

Yeah, including Hanover Street (that was a test right :wink2: ), 9 sounds right.

Indeed. Last time I checked, there was one more crane on PDSA but the on at Circle 109 has now gone. So we should have the same number.

It will be good to see that horrible car park and bus station gone. That will really change the way the place looks.
Although it will be a shame to lose the views from the carpark once it is demolished.

Looking at the webcam now, it's clear there are 8 tower cranes up on the Chevasse Park part of the PSDA. With a further two on Hanover Street.

http://www.ukmovies.myby.co.uk/PSDA Cranes 2.jpg

So we have -

PSDA - 8
Hanover Street - 2
Unity - 3
Malmaison - 1
Hatton Garden - 1

=15

There are now 2 cranes on the John Lewis site, I make that nine in total on the Paradise St site.

Spotted this morning a new crane (blue) erected on the site of the corner of Upper Newington and Mount Pleasant, doe anyone have any info on this job??

Would that be the new JMU arts centre? :?

Thanks Bunny, the site seems fairly small, it'll be a tight fit.

Theirs are bigger than ours:'(
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Sundornian/PB120052.jpg

and trust me, there uglier!

:( Manc has 63 cranes up now, :) but its quality not quantity

Theirs are bigger than ours:'(
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a83/Sundornian/PB120052.jpg

Thanks Westie. Love the duck pond :)

I reckon we will get about 5 on the kings dock and 4 ont St Pauls sq

Westi said on the liverpool thread that theres a crane on the maritime site on the strand? Is this true?? I'm looking forward to seeing this development go up!

Not sure. May try and have a look today, Ste.

Ages since we last played this game. Need to verify this but I think the present totals are as follows:

PSDA (Liverpool One) - 10

Malmaison -1

Unity - 2

Garden Quarter - 1

Mount Pleasant - 1

Which makes 15. However, walking round the city yesterday, I noticed four crane bases in position:

Kings Waterfront - 2

St Pauls Square - 1

West Tower - 1

So, in a week or two we should have 19 cranes and this figure is set to increase through the summer with almost certainly more on Kings Waterfront, probably two on Alexandra Tower, more on Paradise Street and St Pauls Square etc. etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if we hit 30 this year.

A vertical tower (red) has been erected for 1 of the St. Pauls cranes.

FAb. I'll try and get some photos on Saturday, before the meet up. :cheers:

Yeh two have gone up on the Kings Dock and Beetham West's crane has gone up to. Does that take the total up to 19? I think thats the most we've had!!

Where are the next cranes going to be? St Paul's should have another one surely......any ideas?

Liverpool 1 = 10
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2
Unity = 2
Malmasion = 1
Mount Pleasant = 1
Garden Quarter = 1

So 19 it is. I think we may have had 19 at one point previously, but I don't think we've ever surpassed it.

well if alexandra tower ever gets off the ground itl be 20

thats a point, i wish a construction company would just get this by the scruff of the kneck, its such a lovely building

where are we up to these days must be nearly 20 now?

Don't have to wait for Alex. Crane No. 20 looks set to appear on the L1 site in the Baltic Triangle. Picture taken this Saturday.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Martin_S/Baltic%20Triangle/1802064.jpg

great shot that martin... i now realise why this has been taking so long ... some serious excavation gone on here!

Isn't that for the underground car park?

theres a mobile crane hovering over the crane base today, should be up over the weekend

must be for a carpark i think

Same scene a week later with two bases installed and what looks like another ready to go in (although it may just be a mast section). This is one huge development. The excavation, that will go as far as the converted warehouses to the right, is massive and, will provide a large amount of car parking space so Lady D should be pleased.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Martin_S/Baltic%20Triangle/060225.jpg

Also noticed this one going up today by the new John Lewis store. That makes 11 on PSDA and with the two / three on the L1 site, there should soon be 22/23 cranes on the skyline.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Martin_S/PSDA/060225.jpg

If it is 2 be 3 on Maritime they should range from about 30-70m tall

Close call Martin, but Liverpool 1(Grosvenor) should beat L1, Doug and I passed by Paradise St this evening and its at full height just waiting for its jib.

This is an amazing site now with 11 cranes almost touching each other.

I've got photos of these on my camera. Now all I need to do is find the bleedin' cable! :rant:

I have heard that there are to be four cranes on the L1 site (Baltic)

Liverpool 1 = 11
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2
Unity = 2
Malmasion = 1
Mount Pleasant = 1
Garden Quarter = 1
L1 Baltic Triangle = 2

22 I think it is now have any more been added or taken down?

L1 has another crane base in position with one laying on the ground like

Paul I think you've missed one, Cornhill (Chandlers Wharf phase 2 I think it's called)

Liverpool 1 = 11
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2

Why cranes look good in the city Mar 3 2006

By Jane Woodhead, Liverpool Echo

THE two men who spearheaded Liverpool's bid to win Capital of Culture today said: "We hope the city is still being rebuilt in 2008".

Council chief executive Sir David Henshaw, and former council leader Mike Storey - who now has the portfolio for special projects including culture - claimed a crane-filled skyline was good news for the city.

Speaking today in response to criticism that many parts of the city will still resemble a building site in Capital of Culture year in 2008, Sir David said: "You cannot stop a growing and developing city."

etc .....

Cheers Longy for great shot, fantastic just looking at 12 cranes all fighting for a bit of the sky.

I saw another crane going up at the Maritime Building site today. Taking that developments total up to three. JCM predicted four cranes here so maybe another one on the way. Thats taking the total up to 24. There's a RUMOUR on the alex thread that there could be a crane going up in around three weeks there. They're springing up everywhere!

So its 24 at the mo!

Liverpool 1 = 11
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2
Unity = 2
Malmasion = 1
Mount Pleasant = 1
Garden Quarter = 1
L1 Baltic Triangle = 3
Chandlers Wharf = 1

Nice one Ste so 24 it is then. :)

The new crane down by the Strand, I think that makes 12 for PSDA.

If we haven't lost any recently that makes 25.

think the mout pleasant one has gone!

24 then but not for long, Alex tower is expecting one in may

Liverpool 1 = 12
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2
Unity = 1
Malmasion = 1
Mount Pleasant = 1
Garden Quarter = 1
L1 Baltic Triangle = 3
Chandlers Wharf = 1

It's 24. Note that there's only one on unity and now 12 on Liverpool 1.

From issue 10 of "Residential Review"

A further 22
tower cranes are
set to join the 20
currently
punctuating the
Liverpool skyline,
with only London and Dublin
beating the count.

22, where is that coming from, i can't see because Acrabat readed messes my comp up

The fourth crane has now been erected on the L1 site so we are up to 25.

A record! :banana:

i dunno if it means anthing but i seen a white crane base yesterday going along allerton road towards the centre

Saw another crane going up on the PSDA today behind the Grosvenor exhibition centre, I think that makes it 13!!

Saw the bugger swingin into place myself. looked pretty hefty too. wouldnt want one of em droppin near me.

the more the merrier..

Liverpool 1 = 13
West Tower = 1
St Pauls = 1
Kings Dock = 2
Unity = 1
Malmasion = 1
School of Tropical Medicine = 1
Garden Quarter = 1
L1 Baltic Triangle = 4
Chandlers Wharf = 1

Bustcapl mentioned that the Mount Pleasant crane had gone but Doug showed us that the school of tropical medicine had a crane base in place so if that's all accurate we now have 26 cranes in town,correct me if I'm wrong. :)

There's also one on London Road, just up the Pedstrinised bit of London Road.

You can just about see it on this picture

Thanks Ste 27 is that really right. :shocked:

Dunno what they're building on London road, but I did notice a load of red Bricks at the site, so I'm guessing Identict Student Housing. Red brick at the bottom silver plates at the top.

That London Road crane is not a proper tower crane, so it doesn't qualify. The red one by the School of Tropical Medicine is though.

Also there are only 12 cranes on Liverpool one, meaning either a miscount or one's been taken down. Or even, I miscounted them, but I did several recounts and got 12 every time.

I passed there last night and counted only 12, I think one has been taken down.

I'll try and put up some pics shortly.

Updated this thread.

26 cranes. :cheers:

This is why I had 13 is Doug mistaken?

taken from teh Big Dig site...

College Lane: This will be closed on Saturday, 20th and Sunday, 21st May to allow a crane to be put up. School Lane will be reopened to Peters Lane to allow local access.


....more more more

This is why I had 13 is Doug mistaken?

No, there were 13, but one has since been taken down.

There's also one at the new Wings leisure park by the turn for Liverpool JL Airport where they're building a hotel, multiplex etc.

Cranes go out-of-town!

you will find i only have about 10 useless posts, all others are good questions or constructive info

Indeed! :cheers:

And all my posts are shite. Including this one.

Check this out twatboys, right now I'm here (http://www.hoteli-croatia.hr/).

Some bird in the bar is playing the theme from Rhoda on a piano. Class like that needs to be paid for.

Bit of a step up from the YMCA isn't it? Have you paid one of the other residents with Vodka to mind your gear whilst you're away? ;)

When're you back up 'ere Squirrel?

Soon, I hope, rodentboy. Hold on squirrels are rodents as well, aren't they? I've not been back or seen my mum and dad in months. It's the constant pissing about of the completion date of my flat. I have a new moving in date every week, and so I put off coming up as I think I'll be moving in that week.

Over here on work. It's warm here. Bit bored, manning a stand on my own and there's no other bugger around. Wifi access, though, sooo SSC!

I remember about two years ago when we didn't have a single crane. In fact, this figure underestimates the total figure as there are some huge mobiles, such as those working on the Kings Dock arena.

Have you included the new crane by the Bluecoat? That may be included in the PSDA total but I think it may be there for the new extension to the rear of the Bluecoat Chambers.

Have you included the new crane by the Bluecoat?

I may have included it with PSDA but I'm not sure now. :ohno:

another one...taken from the big dig site

Old Hall Street: Work to erect a mobile crane next to Nations House takes place on Sunday, 28th May. It will take three hours to erect the crane.

A proper tower crane has now been erected on the Aintree Racecourse site, is this too far out of town to count???

whats for, i thought work was on going between 2005 - 2006 race, what are they building

new stand

Check out the pics I posted on the Liverpool Sport thread.

Sorry this one's Woody's,if you don't mention it how else do you think I'm going to keep this thread up to date while sitting on my arse in sunny Norris Green. :D

Which one are you referring to???

Yesterday afternoon I counted 12 on PSDA plus the 1 on Bluecoat making it 13 in total by my reckoning.

One next to/behind/ east of Gostins. :)

Not clear at all is it? :)

Hey don't blame me I add one every time someone says there's a new one,I blame you. :colgate:

Is it 14 for PSDA then? if that's right we're on 30.I'm counting Bluecoat as PSDA because it's easier that way.

Some of you are going to have to help me with the photos. It's just getting too difficult these days. :)

City Wide Watch - Crane count,,,,,,

It`s when it starts going out into the districts and suberbs that we will know that the engine of renewal is working......the `Hills of Liverpool` (Eleven) can provide plenty of `Vista Vista Vista`..... without destroying the areas but more adding the appreciation.

Whilst we have had some quantity talls in the past they need some quality (not green field sites in general) and more brown field and life style....which is what was left out before.

sure i seen another one going up in paradise street

I know I try to keep this thread up to date but I can't wait until they're all gone to see the finished article,maybe our crane count will have moved to the Baltic Triangle and around Islington by then with a bit of luck.

Any pics. I just can't keep up with it these days. There's a new crane going up every day. :cheer:

I never want to see a finished Liverpool. I obviously want to see projects finished but I want to see new ones starting that'll keep the crane count high for many years to come! :)

Is that figure (41)for the whole city or just the centre ?

If it's just the centre like ours then there must be a huge amount of development taking place there.

Agree Liverdude,there's nothing like a busy city with plenty of activity and construction work going on.

I haven't been around town for ages Gareth but I'm off in 2 weeks so I'll go on one of your walkabouts if your up for it? We could take our cameras and get a couple of other people involved and you could get as many pictures as you like then. :)

Hello Ste I haven't seen you post here for a while glad too see your still here, :) I thought I actually saw 3 cranes at the St. Paul's Square site but I wasn't sure whether they were mobile cranes or not so that's why I was hoping someone would confirm this,I'm going into town soon so I'll have a proper look. :cheers:

I went to walk over to St Pauls Square and the heavens opened and I had shorts on and no coat so I never quite made it sorry. :clown:

just thought i would keep you up to date but the castel donnington crane count is at 0.

oh how i miss Liverpool

St. Pauls definately has 2 cranes. check pic on the Unity thread I've just posted.

I've had a little mooch and we're miles ahead now.

So what's Brum on, mid-twenties? I'm guessing Leeds is in the high teens mark as it always seems to be when I look it up.

I couldn't find there's or Glasgow's I think they gave up long ago on it,I'm just sumizing we have more than them because of the amount we have.

i wont be happy till we hit forty!

As you walk up Copperas Hill there's a crane that appears to be somewhere behind the Bullring have I already included this on the list? :?

I saw that Paul, when I went to the unity. It is visable from the dock. I thought about what it was there for.

You're not far off now you codger! :scouserd:

Would the crane be for the School of Tropical Medicine? :?

No it's further down that way I think it may be the Pierce Homes development because that's the only one that I'm not sure where about it is in town.

The red crane at Chandlers Wharf has gone.

There is something going on, on the road behind and above Brunswik station, but not sure what. They had the stone wall behind Brunswick partly demolished, maybe for access. This area is due for a housing scheme, and the "Edge development" about 10 storeys is supposed to be nearby, so maybe this is upgrading the utilitys.

it seemed to start out with just small works but theres now definatel a full sized crane on site on what appears to be foundations for a building rising from the ground

Found out what this new development behind Brunswik station might be, see below.
