Albert Dock – Take a walk along Albert Dock, Liverpool’s biggest attraction since the city fathers refurbished and renovated it. Filled with interesting museums, bars and restaurants, and over 50 shops, a family could spend the entire day on the waterfront enjoying what over five million visitors a year come to see.
Speke Hall – Set as it is on the banks of the Mersey, and surrounded by gardens and woodlands this magnificent half-timbered mansion is one of the finest of its kind in England. A visit allows exploration of secret priest holes, the 'eavesdrop' chamber, long walks through the gardens and woodlands, as well as a bite to eat at the tea-room.
20 Forthlin Road – Visit the birthplace of Beatlemania at sir Paul McCartney’s home when he was just a mop-headed kid along with the others of the fab four. 20 Forthlin Road is a simply terraced house and where the Beatles composed and practised their early music.
Cavern Quarter – Mathew Street, This was the site of the famous Cavern Club, where the Beatles used to play, which some idiot demolished in 1973, never realizing what a marvelous source of income it could become. In 1984 commonsense and business savvy kicked in and the place was rebuilt in 1984. |
| FACT (The Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) Liverpool - by Laura Yates from United Kingdom - 2005-12-17 | | It was seven years in the making. It cost £10m to develop, build and equip, and it's the first purpose-built arts project in Liverpool for over 60 years.
Designed by award-winning architects Austin-Smith: Lord, no other UK-based arts centre offers the same quality and range in its programme, resources and activities. The FACT Centre provides a vibrant focal point in the £110 million redevelopment of the Ropewalks district of Liverpool and is a flagship project in the city's successful Capital of Culture bid.
Two stunning galleries provide a space for temporary exhibitions of film, video and new media by internationally significant artists. Picture house at FACT comprises three state-of-the-art cinemas, screening art house and independent film. Working alongside the architects, FACT has commissioned a number of artworks that either form part of the building, for example the zinc-panelled exterior and its interactive lighting system, or are a response to it, such as the Singh Twins' beautiful light box portraits adjacent to the Wood Street entrance. |
