Liverpool Rope-walks Seel Street Project

We are delighted to announce that Ian MacMichael photography will be working with the owners and civil engineers of a significant restoration project in the Rope-walks district of Liverpool City Centre. The project involves the complete restoration of 4 adjacent properties in Seel Street. At the moment the project is waiting planning and funding applications to have a positive outcome, with work scheduled to start towards the end of this year.

More information on the project will follow shortly including the history of the building and old photographs. Here are some photographs from the test shoot......
