    had to laugh when i heard mention of the david lewis, was a place for single men to stay if i remember

    my mams brother uncle joe was always fighting with the wife and getting the worst of it, would end up chucked out and staying in the davis lewis for short periods

    my dad said he was a deadbeat and ended up in the right place, the david lewis was full of dead beats

    anyway my uncle joe told me the greatest satisfaction he ever had was one time in the david lewis he went in the communal washroom for a morning shave and at the next sink having a scrape was my dad

    came off worst for once after a barney with me mam

    what you doing here albert he asked, oh shut up you, was the only reply, laughed till he cried

    Who is the man?
    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    This is such a great thread. Thank you to all the contributors. Wonderful stuff. How little I know about my own city.

    I remember telling someone about the time I was in Myrtle Street childrens hospital and he didn't even know it existed! Even now it's strange passing that area as it will always be the site of the hospital I spent time in.
    It's like Liverpool has more lost building sthan any other British city alhtough i'm probably wrong.

    Great pictures everyone

    And another one would be "Bunneys" oriental goods shop that was on the corner of Whitechapel. You can see the twin towers of it on this photo here.

    I'll bet he would remember my dad, Tony Williams, who worked as a railwayman at Lime Street between 1943 and 1973. He worked as a barman at the Lord Warden, Legs of Man and The Courthouse in the 1960s.Sadie was the manageress at the LoM, and I remember Bob who was married to the manageress at the Lord Warden. He was in the army in WW2 and told us the story of how him and his mate captured a high ranking German officer who turned out to be a Dutch copper.
    Another good bloke who drank in the Lord Warden was a veteran of WW1, aJewish tailor, whose son had a boutique under Concord House. His name was also Tony, but I don't recall his surname. No doubt I'll remember it in due course! That's age for you!
