Love Padlocks In Liverpool

Quick Description: The phenomenon of love padlocks has recently spread to Liverpool with the metal railings at the Albert Docks being a very suitable location.



Other cities believe the romantic practice attracts tourists and have even taken steps to promote it. 
In Liverpool in the UK, a sign on the Albert Docks reads: 'This is a special place for lovers! Interlock your padlocks on the railings and throw away the key into the Mersey. You will never lose your true love!'

It not an Intervention

HEALTH – X-Ray Ted Golf Bug
Artist: Joe Rush
Location: Lyceum Place, Bold Street


Using found objects, flash light and recycled materials, this artwork combines  two of the many medical discoveries of international significance carried out  in Liverpool.
In 1896, Nobel Prize-winning Charles Barkla was the first to use x-ray photography to reveal a bullet in a young boy’s wrist.
Another  breakthrough event was made in 1902 at Liverpool’s School of Tropical  Medicine (the world’s first such school) by Nobel Prize winner Ronald Ross, who discovered that malaria is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Both of  these ground-breaking discoveries changed the methods of medical diagnosis  forever.
