Didn't they have big models of the ships in glass cases on the ground floor? If you were well behaved and asked nicely the man on the desk would give you a handful of postcards of the various Cunard ships Like you we used to go with our neighbour to collect her allotment. The Echo used to list all the ships that were sailing or arriving into Liverpool and the Library up on St Domingo Road had a room where the newspapers were and lots of families used to go and check up where their Dad or brother was.amazing how technology has changed communication now they can't go to the chippy without saying where they are.
