Mersey Ferries Terminal Building
_tcm81-105804.jpg "The proposed new ferry terminal at the Pier Head")
The Mersey ferries are one of the most famous features of Merseyside. Every year 700,000 visitors to the area take a Ferry across the Mersey.
However, current facilities at the Pier Head for handling passengers are not adequate and the design of the structure itself- built in 1990 as a temporary measure - compounded by the adjoining restaurant, is also inappropriate to a prestige waterfront location.
It is now proposed to update the terminal to provide 21st century facilities. The new terminal will:
- attract additional visitors to the Pier Head and waterfront in general;
- enhance visitors experience at the Pier Head;
- complement adjoining schemes including the canal link, Mann Island and public realm;
- encourage action to address the inappropriate quality of the adjoining restaurant building;
- promote the development of the leisure and tourism business in Liverpool and Merseyside.
The expanded facility will include retail and catering outlets targeted at the leisure and tourism market and improved facilities for ticketing , a passenger waiting area, café and gift shop
