I hear through reliable sources the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine who own the adjoining property to Galkoffs wish to demolish it and not provide any support number 31 Pembroke Place currently provides. Conservation and EH are lobbying the LSTM to treat the "Only surviving tiled Kosher butcher`s shop" left in the United Kingdom with some respect but it appears it is falling on deaf ears. Not only our we to lose yet another Georgian property in the city but the future of Galkoff`s is now in doubt.
I believe the owner is currently appealing the matter though the civil courts but it does not look hopefull. Liverpool`s Jewish community should also lobby the LSTM to do whatever they can to preserve this important property as it would be a sad day for Liverpool, Liverpool historic Jewish history and heritage and for the London Road area..
Come on English Heritage, do what your name implies and put an end to this vandalism.

"Galkoff`s Kosher Butcher a listed building in Pembroke Palce Liverpool 3 is at risk because the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine who own the adjoining property to Galkoffs wish to demolish it and not provide any support number 31 Pembroke Place currently provides.
What is EH doing to stop this disgraceful cultural vandalism? Please contact the LSTM soon to encourage them to treat the property with some respect or prosecute them if they leave this building a risk by removing the only remaining support the building currently relies on."
