    Yeah, you're right Gnomie. It was a good around there in those days - 1970's 80's. I spent a lot of time around there with friends and their families who lived in Hope st, Faulkner st and other streets around there. I never went to the Casablanca club but I knew someone who was a regular.

    I remember the Chauffers.

    We used to go in the Crack in Rice st. The Caledonian and the Blackburn, and of course the Philharmonic pub. What was the name of the pub that was later called Peter Kavanaghs ? - originally it wasn't called that, it had another name. Was it the Grapes?? It's on Egerton st.

    Do you remember the grocers on the corner of Faulkner and Hope st ? (not sure what year it closed tho' - could have been in the 70's). My friend's family used to get the shopping there.
    There was a general shop around the corner on canning st. It's still there I think. We'd go there for the Echo, cigs, sweets and stuff.

    I used to go to art college in Hope place.

    Margaret Simey lived in a lovely old house on the side of Blackburn House(girls school).
    Wonder why that school ever closed ?? It was a good school in those days.

    Those huge houses are fabulous. What a shame that so many were demolished - I can just about remember those big 3 & 4 storey ones on Parliament st, Grove st, and around about. There are a few surviving thank God ! Imagine how fantastic it would have been if all those grand buildings had been renovated.

    Unity Theatre, 1 Hope Place

    The Unity name is one of the last reminders of a national theatre movement that once played an important role in the theatrical and political life of the country. The Unity Theatre movement included 250 groups before the war, loosely linked in the Left Book Club Theatre Guild.

    Everyman Bistro, 5-9 Hope Street

    The Everyman Bistro was founded 35 years ago by Paddy Byrne and Dave Scott – later to be joined by Tim Byrne our 3rd partner. In the basement of the old ‘Hope Hall’ with little more than a domestic cooker and a trestle table or two Paddy and Dave turned out food that had never been seen in Liverpool (or anywhere else) before at that time.

    Liverpool Everyman, 13 Hope Street



    Founded in 1964 in the appropriately named Hope Hall (once a chapel, then a cinema), in an area of Liverpool noted for its bohemian environment and political edge, the Everyman quickly built a reputation for ground-breaking work. A succession of visionary directors, exciting writers, and bold young acting companies kept the theatrical flame alive for decades, and the Everyman was the crucible for an astonishing range of theatrical talent. Julie Walters, Bernard Hill, Antony Sher, Bill Nighy, Alan Bleasdale, Willy Russell, Barbara D!ckson, Matthew Kelly, Cathy Tyson, David Morrissey, several McGanns and the Liverpool Poets all considered the Everyman a formative home in their early years. The intimacy of the Everyman’s thrust space has wrapped itself around the reinterpretation of classics that characterised the sixties; the political drama and theatrical mischief that followed in the early seventies; the rich vein of new writing which bridged the transition to the eighties, and the ambitious theatricality which carried it into the nineties.

    Since January 2004, the Everyman has been a producing theatre once again, and the cornerstone of its programme is the living writer. Whether it is the debut of a new Liverpool playwright, a new version of a world classic, or the British première of a major international play, the warmth and dynamism of the Everyman space embraces each of the stories that traverse its stage.
