Not sure if this was reported at the time or not, *sighs* just wish they had spent the money on the museum and not this
============================================

National Museums Liverpool has been awarded £220,000 from the government-managed DCMS/Wolfson fund to improve and interpret some of the city’s most important docks and quaysides, including the graving docks, Canning Half Tide Basin quayside and Canning Dock.

The new park, due to open in 2009, will link the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the new International Slavery Museum with the forthcoming Museum of Liverpool, opening in 2010.

Good news.

This area has given the impression of being a collection of flotsam and jetsam rather than items of historic significance. If done properly this will improve the accessibility in both a physical sense and as a learning experience.

Cheers Kat :cheers:

What museum? And what's wrong with 'this'? Sounds like a good idea to me...

I'm confused though - does kat2 mean the Maritime or Slavery museum?

Snappel, its something we talked about a long while back remember the space between the albert dock and the new museum, well, thats going to be re developed if you look on my link I posted, (only we thought it would be good to bring the submarine and the other boat if you remember?) there are to be touch access points which will tell you about things around the dock area, would have been nice if they could have brought the Uboat over *sighs*
