Years ago, "walkways in the sky" above the busy streets of Liverpool city centre were a familiar sight.
In the 1960s, the council came up with a plan to create a linked system of walkways over the city, seeing some of the city’s biggest developments of the time - including the ECHO building and Royal Insurance headquarters - built with walkways through and around them and bridges across roads. You can still see some of those walkways today or evidence of where they once were.
But the isolated paths were unpopular and the scheme was soon abandoned, with bridges being pulled down and walkways closed off or forgotten, the Liverpool ECHO previously reported. Now, all that is left of most of them are our memories of what the city centre once looked like, a number of photographs and some remnants that can still be spotted if you look close enough.
