SO FAREWELL then to the historic Manchester Dock.
Eschewing Mr Brocklebank’s advice to cantilever the new Museum of Liverpool over this historic site and use it as an atmospheric basement gallery, complete with lock gates, National Museums Liverpool opted for a more minimalist approach by concreting it over.
Or is it meant to be NML’s latest, biggest time capsule?

Whilst the dock is no doubt of historic importance, to what extent should Liverpool continue to allow heritage to interfere with new projects? Do we really need this dock? city leaders of yesterday didnt seem to need it? so why the attention today for what was, and is, a space that has no function?
Preservation were it is needed, but not preservation for preservation sake!
