Does anyone know what this building was used for originally. Ron Formby of the Scottie Press is interested in the mosaics on the entrance floor which seem to be a thistle or similar. It has just opened as 'The Italian Club' cafe.
Thank ye.

Here's one of Ron's pics. It's driving me mad that I can't place where it is. Ged mate, is it anywhere near to the bookshop that has your display in the window?

Dave, it's opposite News from Nowhere and up a few doors facing the fruit stalls.
Phil. Ron reckons Gill and Colley (est 1901) were a Scottish Co. Shown on your 1936 register (thanks for that) If they were in that building in 1901 it is possible that the Liverpool Italians would have done that mosaic, I think that's what he's trying to find out.
