@LiverpoolVista The 'original' was built in 1906 and won the name Royal Iris in 1918. This boat in the video is the third Royal Iris. Probably the most popular but not the 'original' by any stretch.

As we say goodbye to the Royal Iris of the Mersey, our thoughts turn to the original 'Grand Lady' still sitting on the Thames. It’s heartbreaking to see her derelict, but her spirit lives on in the thousands of memories she gave to the people of Liverpool and Wirral. From the famous 'Fish and Chip' cruises to the Merseybeat parties, she was the heart of the river. Did you ever sail on the original Royal Iris? Share your favourite memories or photos below! 👇

@mackin_john Rescued is a bit of an odd word considering that Walker built the pub and displayed his own paintings in it.

@Virlylestarina As much as i love the look of real slate, the weight and repairs from cracked slate after hail is something i would hate to deal with. I would rather get a metal roof that looks like slate instread.

What do you think of this person's roof? Is it aesthetically pleasing?

@Virlylestarina I like how the guide tool sticks in the roof simple yet really useful

@Virlylestarina I think copper in the valleys would be a cool contrast as it patinas into green. What actually wears out in this style roof?

I see shopfronts are 'doing numbers' (do they still say that?) Here are some REAL ones i've worked on over the last few years. It's a lot of work with private owners and working with individual buildings rather than just a generic copy/paste approach helps maintain character.

One of the few things that makes the utter penury of archaeology worthwhile is the privileged access to private areas of buildings. I was recently allowed into the 1430s arch-braced roof space which was once visible from the hall of the George Inn at Norton St Philip (Somerset).

A few weeks ago an ad for Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High popped up on my personal Facebook page. So I went. So you wouldn’t have to. I have no problem with spendy restaurants. It just has to be worth it. ft.com/content/40a07c…

So... the council listing Colette Goulding as an alternate for the committee was an error, and sitting with the public and not contributing counts towards her attendance record. TLDR: Goulding keeps her seat for another six months. That's £7,000 of councillor allowance...

@TourGuideLiverp @fesshole Yeah. It is a council thing in Aus. Whether on your property or the verge (nature strip) there’s usually rules of times and placement. Arseh0le agents always push the limits knowing enforcement is usually slack, all so their ugly mugs get free billboard time for longer.

Had our drive done. The guy who did it left an ad board at the front to show it off. After 9 months I moved it. Three months later, the guy's just been round asking if his team had picked it up. "Well it's not here" I said. And it's not. I took it went to the tip two weeks ago.

@c0n_AU @fesshole This seems to be a private matter between you and the estate agent. Not the Councils responsibility.

@davidallenwest The thing is, once a rare earth metal has been mined it can be recycled and recycled. Its a one-off extraction cost. That petroleum you burn is a one-shot and gone and you need to extract more.

@cleanupbritain @CCNOffice @localgoveditors @KirstieMAllsopp The thing is contractors bid for a job and all the signs cones sandbags etc are classed as consumables. And all lumped together. They charge this for each job. So no incentive to collect them all they can keep charging for new. Every time

@thomasforth This is perhaps one of your most salient points - permission for sensible conversion is almost always given - yet the amount of developers who claim 'heritage issues' is mad.

4/ Arson is bad. Undermines honest business. Sets bad precedent. Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, etc... will always give permission for conversion of these buildings with reasonable conditions. This building in Manchester had that. So it's frustrating if it was arson. We don't know.
