A Huge Panel Come Off The Travelodge In Liverpools World Heritage Site.
Less than a year after its built and its falling to bits. The Travelodge at the Pier Head. They promised us a landmark building............not a pock marked building and this is what we have a tacky http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/travelodge-for-liverpools-world.html Travelodge with a Tesco. Here is a picture today showing just how well its constructed it now is. Was someone hurt? Did it fly off in the middle of the night? Did they remove it before it injured someone? Either way its just not good enough for Liverpools World Heritage Site...and its reputation, hang on, do Liverpool planners have a reputation? Last year the Malmaison http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/liverpool-malmaison-facade-is-falling.html had to be reclad when some tilehanger decided to do a dodgy job. Then there was a huge panel that blew off the Unity building, we thought it would last at least 10 years before bits fell off. Oh and the City Loft building that saw a huge 100kg panel blow out. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/alexanra-tower-100kg-pane-of-glass.html And Peel Holdings are planning Dubai-On-Mersey in the now Unesco World Heritage Site that is on the "In Danger" list.
"THESE OLD BUILDINGS DO NOT BELONG TO US ONLY;...THEY HAVE BELONGED TO OUR FOREFATHERS AND THEY WILL BELONG TO OUR DESCENDANTS, UNLESS WE PLAY THEM FALSE.
THEY ARE NOT.....OUR PROPERTY, TO DO AS WE LIKE WITH. WE ARE ONLY THE TRUSTEES FOR THOSE THAT COME AFTER US."
The Liverpool Preservation Trust Are a active group of people who care passionately about the Urban landscape of our Historic City and are fed up watching vested interests carve it up.
We are a reactive monitering force with a no-nonsense approach.
