Liverpool Development Update
LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE November 2016 Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Liverpool Development Update. When I became Mayor of the city in 2012, I said that Liverpool’s best days were ahead of it. If you consider the levels of investment being seen across the city today in 2016, my prediction is now ringing true. Since the start of 2012, we have seen over £3.8 billion worth of investment which has brought new businesses, new homes, new schools, and new and improved community and health facilities to Liverpool. We have seen the creation of nearly 15,000 job spaces, many of which will be filled with new jobs to the city. We have also created thousands more construction jobs. There is more good news. Several major new schemes are now in delivery mode. I am pleased to see rapid progress on Derwent’s Liverpool Shopping Park at Edge Lane, whilst Project Jennifer is now well underway with construction about to commence on its new Sainsburys and B&M stores. In addition, Neptune Developments have started work on the Lime Street Gateway project, and I can also report that work is underway on the first phase of the Welsh Streets scheme that will now see many of the traditional terraces converted to larger family homes. Meanwhile, some of the new schemes have started under the Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership which will build a further 1,500 new homes and refurbish another 1,000 existing ones. Plans for new schemes continue to be announced. The Knowledge Quarter is to be expanded with a new £1billion campus specialising in FRONT COVER: research establishments, whilst we are now also seeking to expand the Commercial Office District with new Grade A office space at Pall Mall which this city so vitally needs. -
BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – Ca. 1970)
Water Street in the 1880s with Borough Buildings in the centre. Photo courtesy of Colin Wilkinson. WALKING ON WATER STREET Graham Jones explores the histories of various buildings in the Water Street area. Part 3 – BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – ca . 1970) 1 In its early years Borough Buildings lived gracefully between two buildings which captured greater attention: Oriel Chambers (1864) at 14 Water Street, for which Peter Ellis was so rudely criticised when the building was originally constructed, and Middleton Buildings (ca. 1859) at 8 Water Street which, until 1916, was the home of the Cunard Line. The comment in Charles Reilly's 1921 tour of Water Street, 2 – “After the empty site, where the old Cunard Building was, comes the oddest building in Liverpool – Oriel Chambers,...” gives the impression that Borough Buildings did not exist. But it did, and during the century of its existence it provided office accommodation for The Liverpool Steam Ship Owners' Association, the American Chamber of Commerce and a variety of important businesses and shipping lines. Trade between America and the U.K.'s premier port had become so important by the end of the 18th century that an American Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1801. The first three attempts at laying a transatlantic cable between 1857 and 1865 had ended in failure when the cables broke or developed faults, but success was finally achieved in 1866, with the Great Eastern being one of the ships involved in cable laying. On September 20th of that year, following a letter from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce regarding their proposal for a public dinner to celebrate the laying of the cable, the American Chamber met at Borough Buildings (to which they had moved their offices in 1864 from Exchange Street West). -

Guide to Liverpool Waterfront
Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary. -

I trust that the great success of the venture justified Pat's efforts in the end and those of us who were able to go owe her a real debt of gratitude for providing such an interesting and enjoyable experience.

The Landmark Collection Cipriani Event Venues New York City Harry’S Bar 1931
The Landmark Collection Cipriani Event Venues New York City Harry’s Bar 1931 Harry Pickering It all started in 1931 when a long-sought dream became reality and Giuseppe Cipriani opened the doors of Harry’s Bar. In a discreet stone building perched along a canal just off Piazza San Marco in Venice, he created a timeless and impeccably appointed establishment. His concept was to serve others as you would want to be served yourself. His vision of simple luxury came to touch the souls of people all over the world. Arrigo Cipriani Giuseppe Cipriani Sr. & Ernest Hemingway Through the decades, the Cipriani experience is renewed by successive generations of artists and composers, actors and socialites, and great human beings who define each age. Cipriani Landmark Collection SERVICE There is soul, and there are things. Imagine a world made up only of objects, A world of idle tools, A restaurant of nothing but tables and chairs, A large empty theater, or a deserted plaza in summer. They cry out for the service of man, The service to give them life. We call on man to display his splendid capabilities. And We observe with undivided attention, Because The little nuances in the quality of his service Give a flawless measure of his mind, They tell us frankly what his soul is worth, Because, To serve is first to love. Arrigo Cipriani “PURE. use only the finest, purest ingredients.” “FREEDOM. the availability of options with no imposition.” Cipriani 25 Broadway 25 Broadway, New York, NY 10004 The Cunard Building, designed by architect Benjamin Wistar Morris and completed in 1921, is an Italian neo-Renaissance inspired masterpiece, with 65 foot high ceilings, soaring marble columns and magnificent inlaid floors. -
