    Default Liverpool Art Cafe

    Well worth a visit just to check out Tom Murphy's sculptures. A full English brekky is only £3.95

    too! No la de da Lark Lane pretentiousness either. Most of the customers just come in for a bite to eat and haven't a clue who Tom Murphy

    is

    Paul, you're only 5 mins drive away. Pop in for breakfast

    Neat stuff, Dave! Is that the model for the Beatles sculpture at Cavern Walks? Did Tom Murphy do that sculpture? Where exactly is

    the Liverpool Art Café?

    I think the address is 683 West Derby Road, but just look out for the Newsham Park bizzie shop. It's just across the

    road from there.

    Not sure about that one Chris. I'm

    meeting up with him tomorrow. I'll ask him. He done the Billy Fury monument, by the way.

    Thanks. I appreciate that. I'm squinting at those newscuttings on

    the wall and it looks like he met Yoko Ono. At any rate, he does good stuff.

    I'd only go there for the English Brekkie, but that price sounds worth it.

    LOL! You know the bridge going across the road? I thought it was part of the derailed Liverpool -

    Southport route. I gained access by climbing over the wall where the old bowling green used to be in Newsham Park. Took a few snaps and was about to go back

    when a friggin' train hurtled past, beeping it's horn! (Almost) Shiit myself!

    I

    know where you mean. The green behind the old Newsham hospital ? There is a little tunnel there too. Havn't looked there for a long time so it could be

    bricked up now.
    Do you remember the little Tatoo shop that was just under the bridge ( on the main road) ? It was there for years.

    Yeah I know that tunnel, it's in between (what

    was) the Seaman's Orphange and the bowling green. Don't know now, but there were garden allotments on the other side. Don't recall the tatoo shop.

    The tunnel was still open last year when I walked through the park. I used to use it every day when I lived in Sutton St. to take my dog to the park.
