I see they're demolishing an old building on Duke Street, by the corner of Slater Street. I know it's only a stonework facade for a brick building, but bloody hell - you know what's going up in it's place.

I think this is it, found the location on google. I don't the whole building has been taken, but it boggles my mind the lack of foresight being shown by developers.

For about 6 years I used to get off the 27 bus every weekday at The Belmont , before legging round the corner to get the 18 on West Derby rd.

That's criminal, another one through the back door, what we really need is shit buildings being created to house more hen party hotels to replace history. Will also impact on Wolstenhome Square at the back although the loss at the back is less of a problem

It's utterly disgusting, mate. At least keep the frontage ffs. It looks lovely!

On a lighter note, I was trawling the internet for pictures of the Garden Festival site from 1984, and I took a screen cap of Googlemaps for a Then and Now comparison. I forgot just how huge the original site was. The current festival gardens only occupy around a third of the original site.

You can see the Britannia Pub on Otterspool Promenade in both pictures. Riverside Drive didn't even exist back then, but you can clearly see its eventual route.

Was this Tetley Walkers offices in the past? My mum worked there and as a kid I used to get all Manner of breweriana from there.

Well, more hotel rooms, fine for match weekends (for us) and booze parties. Trouble is that every time you knock a decent looking building down you marginally decrease the numbers who come for the way the city looks. It leads to a city full of hotels, like Leeds.

Pretty sure it’s the old Tetley building.

When I worked for Merseyside CC in the 1970s I used to visit there to take witness statements detailing the accuracy and provision of price lists in pubs when we caught one of their dodgy licence holders either actively overcharging or hiding the price list so they could overcharge.
