China Town Area

[MariaC]

Liverpool's Chinese restaurants are more expensive than London's.

You need numbers to get these places really buzzin and on their toes. Hopefully we'll see more numbers arrive with our upturn, opening more restaurants, providing more competition and (hopefully) even cheaper and better quality scran.

You have never eaten until you go to the Mabo.

LIVERPOOL’S famous Chinese arch has been “stunningly” restored to ensure it looks its best for the city’s culture year. Read

I see that Langdon's/Europleasure is still being called the Scandinavian Hotel.
The hotel, which was never called the Scandinavian, was behind Langdons and was demolished in the early 1930s.
Langdons was built about 1858 as a factory, and it never was anything but a factory.
It's a great building though, and the current owners have put a new roof on it, which is something the Florrie could do with.

The arch still had scaffolding around it when I passed at the weekend so i'd say 'it is being' rather than 'it has' been restored. I'm told the Florrie will have a roof on it by March and it took longer and more funding than originally thought to clear out the insides. It is about time though.

Re:Langdon's/Europleasure/Scandinavian Hotel

The facade has a couple of items of minor interest: a few lions heads, stone faces and by the balcony on the top-right of the building, some initials in the stone-work. It reads 'AS' or 'SA'. I can never work out interlocking initials on buildings.

Langdons made tents

Here's the initials, just below the balcony on Langdons building.

It was built about 1858 for Abbott's who were cabinet makers.

It was always a factory.
The hotel was round the corner in Duke Street and was demolished in the 1930s when Langdons built an extension.

A KEY landmark building, compulsorily purchased by Liverpool Council three years ago to be redeveloped for 2008, will remain derelict for at least another year, it emerged last night. Read
