Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Seems to have been built for maximum visibility of the approaches to Liverpool. There were plans to demolish it and build an 'exclusive' restaurant, in the style of those in the Gulf States but nothing came of them.

I quite like it. Think it should be painted in jolly stripes.

I'd go with that. Here is one of five cocoa warehouses in Liverpool Freeport, a quarter of a mile from the port radar station. A community project a few years ago transformed a dull building into a brief pictorial history of Waterloo.

Oh, it'll not win any gongs for aesthetic beauty, Jono, that's for sure, so a paint job would help. Was thinking this morning how many hundreds of millions of tons of cargo, and millions of crew have come and gone more safely because it was built.
