    The Seamans orphanage. It was a hospital or clinic of some kind in later years wasn't it?
    Actually I shouldn't have called it Newsham hospital 'cos the real Newsham hospital was on Belmont rd and backed onto Lower Breck rd - the paramedic ambulance depot is still there.

    The clinic by Tuebrook was called Park hospital I think.

    The tatoo parlour was a tiny shop ( more like a little hut) right by the bridge and was well known. I might have a picture of it somewhere.

    Other places in Tuebrook you might remember are; St John's youth club (we had some great nights there - great music and sometimes live bands),
    St Cecilia's club, the Binmens' club on Green lane, The Coconut Grove night club.

    Went to the Cafe on Friday morning - superb breakfast, and the art work was great.

    Also the owner was very friendly, and I pointed her in the direction of this web site for my source of reason to visit!

    Can recommend it!

    Yep, here's one I found looking up West Derby Rd (westbound). The Newsham Park police station is just out of sight to the left and the cafe would have been on the right side. Pic taken in April 2003.

    Thanks for this information, Simon. A visit to the Liverpool Art Café sounds like a must for my upcoming visit to Liverpool next May. The locale is also of interest to me because my father worked at Newsham Park Hospital in the early 1950's before we emigrated to the United States.

    Hi Simon

    We would be over for about ten days to two weeks, spending some time in the south, then coming up to Liverpool for a week or so, then back down south before flying off. I'm coming for the Maybrick event at the Liverpool Cricket Club and to take part in a couple of poetry readings at the Everyman and at Albert Dock in connection with a Liverpool poetry anthology, Living on Hope Street that includes a selection of my poems.

    Don't worry Dave -- I am only voracious in the chat room.
