Rodney House, part of Liverpool John Moores University, at 70 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Merseyside.
Founded as a small mechanics institution (Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts) in 1823, the institution grew over the centuries by converging and amalgamating with different colleges, including the F.L.Calder School of Domestic Science, the City of Liverpool C.F. Mott Training College, before eventually becoming Liverpool Polytechnic in 1970. The University also has a long history of providing training, education and research to the maritime industry, dating back to the formation of the Liverpool Nautical College in 1892.
The institution then became a university under the terms of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 under the new title of "Liverpool John Moores University". This new title was approved by the Privy Council on 15 September 1992. The university took its name from Sir John Moores, the founder of the Littlewoods empire. Moores was a great believer in the creation of opportunity for all, which embodies the ethos of LJMU in providing educational routes for people of all ages and from all backgrounds. This belief led Sir John Moores to invest in the institution and facilities, such as the John Foster Building (housing the Liverpool Business School), designed by and named after leading architect John Foster. With the institution's backgrounds dating back as far as 1823, many of the university buildings date back also, with aesthetically pleasing Georgian and Victorian buildings found on a few of the campuses.
Seen here on various locations about Liverpool. It currently stands in Tithebarn Street, outside the LJMU
Superlambanana weighs almost 8 tonnes and stands 17 feet tall, it is intended to be a cross between a banana and a lamb and was designed by New York City-based Japanese artist Taro Chiezo. Chiezo himself only created a four-inch model, while the full-size replica was made by local artists Andy Small, Julian Taylor, Tommy Reason, and Ray Stokes.

An original theatre production directed by Yorgos Karamalegos and inspired by Euripides’ Medea.
“Home” is a new beginning in Yorgos’ career after a decade with Tmesis Theatre and four years of research in theatre making through his international laboratory for performance - Physical Lab.
The world of ‘Home’ is a poetic landscape and a hero's journey exploring the feelings of alienation, power, love, betrayal, and freedom.
It explores the symbolisms behind one of the most famous and powerful characters in the history of drama and promises to be an evocative and highly entertaining piece.
It has been created in collaboration with actress/dramaturg Despina Sidiropoulou, and the cast includes Yorgos Karamalegos, Despina Sidiropoulou and Tatiana spivakova.
The drama is supported by movement director Pablo Aran Gimeno (Pina Bausch Tanzthater company); stylist Venia Palychronaki; and lighting manager Marc Williams (National Theatre).
The premiere takes place at the Unity Theatre in Liverpool on the 24th & 25th of November 2015, followed by the London premiere on the 29th & 30th of January at Chisenhale Dance Space.
Yours truly in the atrium @ the 'Liverpool Echo' and 'Daily Post' newspaper offices with some film makers from 'Liverpool J.M. University'. They asked to film me reminiscing, re; my memories of Liverpool's famous old 'Overhead Railway' and our city's (once thriving) miles & miles of busy docklands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1zayd4eR1Y

A redevelopment of the plot between Hardman Street and Maryland Street is on the cusp of starting. Barriers have been erected around some buildings which will be demolished, including the old LJMU Students Union building (officially known as the High Building).
A familiar sight for anyone who has studied at the old Liverpool Poly, latterly Liverpool John Moores University. This was taken from the Churchill Way footbridge over Byrom Street looking North past the campus to Leeds Street. This busy intersection has changed a lot in living memory with the construction of the flyovers, demolition of the old tenement blocks and development of new student blocks. The area could change even more over the coming years as more developments push the limits of the City Centre northward.
Liverpool John Moores University are due to start work on redeveloping the old Post Office site on Copperas Hill. The scheme will form part of the "Connected Central Village" proposal (of no relation to the Central Village development at Lewis').
Looking at the proposed images, the car park will remain but the old GPO will be altered to befit the requirements of the new building use. According to LJMU, all three libraries will be consolidated onto this site, meaning Avril & Aldham Robarts sites and the facility at IM Marsh will be relocated to Copperas Hill. I found the facilities at the Avril Robarts to be exemplary; hopefully these new facilities will be just as good. I wonder whether the Superlambanana will also be relocated?
On 24th November students and school children in Liverpool walked out of classes as part of a national day of action. They marched to the town hall and then stopped traffic at several spots around the city.
This is the rear of Hardman House which is scheduled for demolition as part of a mixed student accommodation and LJMU learning space development. This could also mean "Back Maryland Street" is also removed.
I used to live right near here. Early council housing, now student accommodation. Check out the rest of the set www.flickr.com/photos/94058312@N00/sets/72157622207351540/
The Maritime Bridge and Engine Simulator in Liverpool officially opened today (20 October) where he also announced a new Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) graduate talent pipeline programme offering sponsored placement opportunities to ten Merseyside companies operating in the maritime sector.
The Maritime Bridge and Engine Simulator enables students, marine pilots, shipmasters and senior navigating officers to develop and practise their skills in a high tech, lifelike but risk-free environment which can be programmed to look and feel like any seaborne vessel.
The scheme will be rolled out in partnership with industry body Mersey Maritime, which signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University in 2015 in order to provide the latter with direct access to maritime sector employers and identification of skills gaps. It will provide the University’s next cohort of graduating mariners with their first professional job in the industry and employers with a highly skilled new professional who will continue with their development as they start in their career.
For more information, see Liverpool John Moores University.
John Hayes attended the launch of the new container ship “Atlantic Sea”, where HRH Princess Anne christened the giant container ship. He also saw the construction progress of the deep-water container terminal Liverpool 2, which will ensure the Northern Powerhouse can accommodate container trade from across the Atlantic.

The Vauxhall Vaults stands on the corner of Cockspur Street. an insurance map dating from 1894 has this corner marked as a public house; however as you can see, the area around it has changed considerably in the intervening years.
Between here and Tithebarn Street were Mc Gees Buildings and a Presbyterian Church. The Avril Robarts Library (a part of the John Moores University) now occupies the site. The alignment of buildings has altered just as much. The Avril Robarts is set further back from the highway than it's predecessors were, providing a sizable area for people to congregate.
The building adjacent to the Vauxhall Vaults is the newest building in this image. Previously, there was a small newsagents which was essentially in a one room structure attached to the pub. I don't know how the two buildings are configured now as I guess part of the Vauxhall would have been demolished to accommodate a new, larger building.
Cockspur Street also included some retail units including a Pawnbrokers and Shirt Dresser.

Checking out my EEG as recorded by Biosemi's ActiveTwo. Taken during my first go in the driving simulator at LJMU.
I am a bit dubious of listing Rodney Street as Canning, nonetheless, this route is still one of the most desirable streets in town. Linking the Anglican Cathedral to Mount Pleasant, the street is lined by various styles of Georgian housing.
Laid out circa 1780, the street has been home to several important figures in the city's history including Dr Duncan (first medical officer for Liverpool), William Gladstone and Edward Chambre Hardman.
The dark, shiny building in the distance is one of LJMUs new investments, replacing a 60's block on the corner of Brownlow Hill and Clarence Street.
I saw all these new graduates on my way home - so I climbed to the top of the Cathedral steps for a shot.
