Hi mr Drone the building with the roof off has also had its chimney removed as it’s there on your other videos. Great video yet again keep up the work 👏👏👏👍
Great update Nick as always mate. These buildings are huge, now the roofs are off. I see a load of asbestos sheeting on the building with the tower. That will take a long time to remove safely. Keep the updates coming 👍
Hi Nick, another great video, read this week that the tower is beyond saving and unsafe due to a recent survey so it is going to be demolished and rebuilt !
Nice swimming pool on top of the Tower, not too sure about the green water😂 Why does Nick always stand in the road, my daughter is worried he might get ran over.😀 Great video thanks Nick.👍
SHOULD HAVE DO THIS WITH THE LITTLE WOODS IN AINTREE THE OLD PARADOX NOW SPORTS DIRECT AS THAT WAS ALSO A ICONIC BUILDING WHICH I BELEIVE AND TOLD WAS ALSO A LISTED BUILDING
To think that the largest private company in Europe operated from there(at least one of its branches)... how the mighty has fallen. Beautiful building tough.
When you see that algae are thriving in an unintended reservoir at the top of the tower, it's not a surprise that it was condemned. When you add that to all the asbestos panels that will need removing safely and that every section of steel seems to have rusted to such an extent as to be useless in the future, one has to wonder how the financials worked out for restoration versus raising it all to the ground and using the whole site in a different way. Whilst there is no doubt future demand for the visual arts industry, in some form, I wonder if this ends up not being used for its exact original intention.
@@mikeoglen6848 Not necessarily, even if houses are needed desperately by those not yet on the property ladder or being squeezed by rent. My comment relates only to the fact that the development was probably only passed because the LCC prioritised saving the appearance of the buildings, above all else. But that made for a narrow choice on outcomes. This is not an exclusive problem for LCC, as protection is placed so highly around the country, not just Liverpool. The likelihood of part of the buildings being unsafe I'd have reckoned was extremely high and I suspect the thoroughness of any engineering surveys was not there. If they had been, then the options for what to do with the site would probably have been much wider and deeper and the site would probably have been developed much sooner as a result. If LCC had a bit more imagination and real get-up-and-go, they should have been considering courting large companies to have regional headquarters there or a futuristic business park centred on University Research offshoot genesis developments, e.g. in Life Sciences and so on, which are the future businesses likely to generate really good-quality, higher productivity permanent jobs, keeping the best and brightest in and around Liverpool, looking to self-generate Liverpool from the core. Acorns grow into Oak Trees. There is undoubted demand for Visual Arts (e.g. droners' footage!) but the future methodology of provision of those is somewhat unpredictable and to be fair to LCC and the developers no one can know the future. It's not a bad choice but still probably excludes more 'productive' choices from the get-go as a result poor surveys of the site, wider research about markets and priorities and marketing of Liverpool itself.
How long has this building been empty, looks like many decades of neglect, for the roof to fall in under its own weight & the top of the tower looks like its full of water!
I just do not see this being finished financially. With all the new artificial intelligence now being used in the film industry. There is absolutely no need for these monster studios anymore. Tyler Perry studios in Atlanta just stopped a billion dollar project, because there is no reason to go ahead. Now new technology has changed everything.
@NOWThatsRichy I agree but film making is a for profit business. And every major studio has stopped investment in sound stages. The famous houses in Hollywood seen in many tv shows and movies, have all just been torn down and they are not being replaced. As they can artificially be reproduced. A I will get better and better and more realistic. A I newsreaders are already being used and you cannot tell the difference. The investment in edge lane will never be returned and the space will not be used as its not needed anymore.
@NOWThatsRichy Also shopping on main Street is better than ordering online, yet main Street is dying as are shopping centers. And artificial intelligence is about to change everything and cause massive unemployment and social strife. The warnings are all around.
I used to bike ride here from Hall Lane as a kid because they had a huge employee bike park. I kept my bike in tip-top condition by robbing the employee's bikes of parts.
