    It used to be the Lord Street Arcade.
    Something like the Wayfarer's Arcade in Southport.
    Designed by W Aubrey Thomas (Royal Liver, Tower Buildings, etc).
    It opened in 1901.
    In the 1980s the upper part was the Strawberry Dance Studios and they let me take some photos.
    I'll try and dig them out.

    Even I didn't recognise that building - sterling work Philip.

    It's sad to say that most of us walk around town with our heads down, myself included!

    I agree, the ones I've seen around town look tatty already. The ones on Duke St at least are semi-transparent, so they look faded and worn-out straight away.

    I look some French people to Liverpool in the summer and they were constantly looking up all the time and pointing to some building or other. We take it all for granted.

    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?

    I went with a party on one of Pat Neill's guided tours (Liverpool monuments chap) It was Herbert Tyson Smiths monuments around Liverpool city centre. We kept looking up and pointing and I lost count of the number of passers-by and shoppers who stopped by us, turned and looked up to see what we were looking at or asked us. Helped on no doubt by me looking up and shouting 'don't do it' now and again
