There is a building at 61 Lord Street with Talk Talk on the ground floor and Rococo Coffee shop on the first. I was wondering if you might know anything of its history?

It's a lovely building isn't it. It reminds me of something Swiss or Austrian.![]()
Hi Arterial, and welcome to Yo!
61 [Venice Chambers] Lord Street on the corner with Doran's Lane.
Described as a "gothic parapet and yellow and white glazed brickwork in lozenge patterns a la Doge's Palace, 1882 by [architect] Edmund Kirby." From Liverpool, Joseph Sharples.
In 1911 it was a collection of different offices under one roof including: solicitors, printers, accountants, professor of French, architect, watchmaker, estate agents, tailors, refreshment caterers, shirt & collar depot hosiers [but no candle-stick maker] dissappointed.
Cheers,
Daz

I'm sure there is a story,of some kind of "hellfire" club,that was based somewhere, in that building!?
Ha, you could be right there Steve,.
Office chambers similar to this were popular all over the city.
I've just realised Rococo - the cafe. Last time I was there they had other businesses on the upper floor and were still advertising for rental space there. So the building's use hasn't changed much in 99 years [1911 Kelly's].
