    It is.

    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?

    The Stanley Hall opened in 1938, so it does includes features of the time, but I wouldn't call it Art-Deco.
    For that matter, India Buildings and Martins Bank are more classical in design than Art-Deco.

    I'm stating the obvious, but the Philharmonic Hall is a real example of Art-Deco.

    Blackburn Assurance Building and the Ship and Mitre pub both on Dale St, The Crown pub on the East Lancs road plus some churches.

    All of the 1930s Corpy tenements including lots of still existing housing on Queens Drive and in Speke (with concrete pots on the roofline)

    I would like to see lots of photos of these as I think that was the best recent most architecture - I find buildings of the 50s, 60s, 70s quite bland.

    That's Microzine in Bold Street. Before that it was Coopers Food Hall but I'm not sure of the history before that.

    This is one of my favourite shop frontages in Liverpool, yet there's never been anything written about it.
    Any guesses, anyone?

    I didn't know that there used to be a Coopers in Bold st. I only knew the one in Church st. I can just about recall going in there when I was little.
    Can't remember much about what it looked like but I remember the lovely aroma of deli foods, meats, cheeses and the smell of ground coffee.

    The name was just a coincidence, Lindy.
    The original Coopers had gone out of business years before this one in Bold Street.

    Yes... Bold Street, that's what I meant to write.

    Also, there's another interesting building nearby. It's on a corner (possibly the corner of Newington or Heathfield St). I think it's now Oxfam, does anyone have any info?

    ooh, silly me ! .. I thought it odd that I hadn't heard of another Coopers food hall.

    Can you remember what the shop in Bold st was ?

    Nice building. The top floor still retains some original features. I was at one of their dos in November when I took these pics.
