LOVERS of Liverpool's history will quail to know the bulldozers are set to destroy Manchester Dock's ancient oak gates at the Pier Head to make way for the new Museum of Liverpool.
Already, demolition progresses at the adjacent Mann Island site, in a Northwest Development Agency deal to bankroll the new museum. In the city's history, promised within the new museum, will there be an exhibition detailing the Massacre of Mann Island 2007?

Why so much animosity towards change? throughout this blog there appears to be a general negativity towards new development in the city.
One thing we as a society have noticed at 21C is the lack of constructive criticism from those whose agenda has been formed out of an interest and passion for all that is heritage. Do you not realise by having this attitude to the new that the only message Liverpool sends out is "go away" to anything new and ambitious?
We are never again going to create the kind of heritage you are so eager to protect if every new project proposed panders to the opinions of a few who, whilst admirable in their efforts are simply holding the city back........Brunswick Quay, Lime St Gateway, Skelhorne Chieftan Tower, Central Station/Central Village.....to name but a few, almost every project in this city has had to loose its spark, its power through a general fear of it daring to face up to the past landmarks we are lucky as a city to have. And the result? in some cases a shadow of their original intentions and then up for further scrutiny as being too unambitious? can modern architecture win in Liverpool?
