St Benedicts high school formerly Noctorum high school it looks a state just a burnt out shell and all that land going to waste .I did hear an irish company that owned it had been served with a number of orders from the council to demolish it but this has dragged on for years.

I never realised the old st john's market was such a nice building - when did it get demolished? Was there a fire or something?

Tranmere rovers football ground is not very pleasing to the eye, at least modern day grounds are built a little bit better to look at. The mistake they made with the main stand, they built it facing the pitch.


God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Oh, how I sympathise with that, Bert. When I was at Well Lane school I usually won any prizes going (smartarse). The prize was often a ticket to the stand at the Rovers. I've never enjoyed football since.

All the flats that have recently been built in Spital...turning my lovely small Hamlett into a busy bustling, traffic ridden area.


There wasnt demand for them, but they still built them for gods sake somad

The eyesores in the middle of the Sandbrook estate, preferably with some of the thieves and needle-users in there. Harsh? Perhaps. Bothered? Not really laugh

Anything made of red brick. It's cheap stuff and sh*t. Especially when they build it next to ancient stuff, like in Chester.

Most of the new Liverpool buildings. You'd think they'd make them similar seeing as they were all built at the same time. They all look too different.

St Benedicts is now being demolished. I think they only started this week.
