Artist s impression of the restored tower and Maritime Knowledge Hub A WIRRAL landmark is a step closer to being restored to its former glory and transformed into a specialist maritime centre under plans agreed by councillors. The iconic 19th century Grade 2 listed Hydraulic Tower building, a copy of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, had been left unused for decades at the Four Bridges but is now moving ahead with being brought back to life as the Maritime Knowledge Hub. The Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee agreed to recommend the Wirral Waters Investment Fund be approved for investment into the Maritime Knowledge Hub and another key Wirral Waters scheme, Egerton Village, which will include retail to support the emerging residential developments nearby plus a new square with an events programme as well as managed workspace and studios and potentially a restaurant.

John Walsh gives his guide to the best buildings to look out for on a walk around Christchurch
All cities are to some extent intentional but Christchurch, far more than most cities, didn t just happen. It was conceived in England, in the middle of the 19th century, as an Anglican settlement centred on a cathedral, bordered by a park and laid out as a rectangular grid of streets awaiting the buildings that would inevitably occur as prosperity caught up with colonial ambition.
Twelve buildings to look forward to in 2021
Next year will see the opening of the coastal Wormhole Library that MAD is constructing on the Chinese island of Hainan.
It will have a sinuous, white-concrete form punctured by large circular cut-outs, intended to evoke a wormhole that transcends time and space .
In Niger, Adjaye Associates will complete a memorial to the people who lost their lives fighting terrorists on the borders of the West African country.
It will be distinguished by a grid of 56 star-shaped concrete columns that extend 20 metres into the air and are raised on a large room for civic events.
