    Default Littlewoods' grand art deco HQ wins new lease of life

    THE art deco Littlewoods building in Liverpool's Edge Lane is to be turned into a new hotel, apartment complex, retail space and commercial centre, it was announced last night.

    The scheme will be carried out by award-winning regeneration developers Urban Splash, the company that has already rescued the Matchworks at Garston and the former Liverpool Collegiate in Shaw Street.

    Liverpool Land Development Company, the public-private regeneration agency, announced the former Littlewoods Pools headquarters - which is owned by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) - will be restored by urban Splash as preferred developers.

    Its a great building, so it deserves to be redeveloped and not left to rot away

    Thanks for that link.
    I see the Co-op isn't

    there.
    Nor the Forum/ABC cinema or any other cinemas.
    Nor Smart's in Bold Street or the Rolls-Royce showroom (now Oxfam) also in Bold Street.
    Nor

    the Telephone Exchange in Old Hall Street.
    I'd better stop there.

    We should start an art deco thread in the exploration section, see if anyone has any pics.

    Blackburn Assurance Building and the Ship and Mitre pub both on Dale St, The Crown pub on the East Lancs road plus some churches.

    All of the 1930s Corpy tenements including lots of still existing housing on Queens Drive and in Speke (with concrete pots on the roofline)

    I would like to see lots of photos of these as I think that was the best recent most architecture - I find buildings of the 50s, 60s, 70s quite bland.

    That's Microzine in Bold Street. Before that it was Coopers Food Hall but I'm not sure of the history before that.

    This is one of my favourite shop frontages in Liverpool, yet there's never been anything written about it.
    Any guesses, anyone?

    I didn't know that there used to be a Coopers in Bold st. I only knew the one in Church st. I can just about recall going in there when I was little.
    Can't remember much about what it looked like but I remember the lovely aroma of deli foods, meats, cheeses and the smell of ground coffee.

    The name was just a coincidence, Lindy.
    The original Coopers had gone out of business years before this one in Bold Street.

    ooh, silly me ! .. I thought it odd that I hadn't heard of another Coopers food hall.

    Can you remember what the shop in Bold st was ?
