That West Bramley Moore Dock area must be worth a fortune, to any potential developer. Here is where some really modern buildings of large scale could be sited.

Dave, middle picture (West Bramley Moore Dock 2) is fantastic. I am going to look at it a lot. I have never seen that view before. I think you have caught a classic Liverpool scene that no-one else knew existed until you had captured it.

Thanks Blabb & Liverpolitan, a bit of a pain in the arse to capture that view. You require access to the Sandon Half Tide Dock, then climb over a barbed wire fence without falling into the Dock. It's also the only way to get to Jesse Hartley's Victoria Tower aka Dockers Clock.

BTW Last time I was in that warehouse, a Canada Goose came up from behind and hissed at me. I almost soiled my incontinence pads!

Probably in Canada Dry Dock for repairs/maintenance. That's also near to where they hauled that dead whale from the ship last year. Stunk to f**k

That's exactly what a mate of mine does. They look for land for investors. His firm is called 'Profitable Plots.' He is based in London but has just merged company's and now has an office in Singapore. He was initially involved with Everton's King's Dock scheme before the council knocked it on the head.

Maybe I should direct him towards the area of Dave's photos.

I too dream about time travel- there's nothing wrong with being a sci-fi nerd/dreamer. I'd probaby be a millionaire by now if I hadn't whiled away so many hours day-dreaming... D'Oh!

Bonded Tea Wharehouses

This looks similar to the Wharehouse with trees growing out of it, on Parliament St


Tall loading bay's.


Notice my photoedit of window (bottom right), had to clone another window due to a large sun glare spot covering that window.


Stanley Dock in the background.


This will be a fantastic area when fully renovated and buzzing with activity.

The new sign of a person juggling balls is the logo for the company that bought the Liverpool Warehousing Co. Wonder whats in this warehouse, is it just tea or other commodities.


A snippet from an internet search

Liverpool Warehousing Co., Ltd., 1895-1983

For many years the Liverpool Warehousing Company was the largest firm of warehouse keepers in the UK. Its main commodity was cotton. The firm became part of the Transport Development Group around 1986. The main offices of the Liverpool Warehousing Company were situated at 70 Pall Mall, Liverpool. The archives include minute books, legal and financial papers and also the records of sixteen of its subsidiary companies.
