[2008]
[2026] World Museum, St. George’s Hall, etc., Liverpool         Wednesday 3 September 2008 – 16:28:42 I took this photo of the World Museum just after we enjoyed some hours there. It has different-themed exhibits on each of its five or six levels, accessed from a central atrium.    —World Museum,—   —Central Library (obscured by trees),—  —Walker Art Gallery,— 
—Wellington’s Column,— 
—St. George’s Hall,—   
Wednesday 3 September 2008 - 16:29:06 I set my camera to “movie”-mode, and panned around: World Museum, Central Library (obscured by trees), Walker Art Gallery, Wellington’s Column, St. George’s Hall, St. John’s Gardens, St. John’s Beacon   Wednesday 3 September 2008 – 16:35:46 On the south end of St. George’s Hall (out of shot to the left in the photo below, taken “16:44:59”), in the kind of “plinth” that the hall stands on, there was an entrance-door. It was open to the public, so we went in. It was almost closing time, so we didn’t get to see the grandeur of the hall itself. But this strange sight met our eyes: a maze of tunnels, part of the Victorian heating and air-conditioning system.  Wednesday 3 September 2008 – 16:36:23 Not the condemned cell. (The condemned cell had a fireplace. At least you could warm yourself before you were hanged.)

Wednesday 3 September 2008 – 16:44:59 St. George’s Hall from Lime Street. Behind us is Liverpool Lime Street railway station — and what a strange sight met our eyes!          There was a strange mechanical spider on the side of a building! Afterwards, it was filmed on the TV news, walking along the street. It was part of the “Liverpool 08”, “City of Culture” celebrations.
