Can Anyone Identify This Building?

[Ross08]

Can anyone perhaps tell me what this building was originally?



Mulberry Street, Catharine Street

I've never really paid any attention to it until today when I was up there taking some photos.

I'm not certain but I believe it used to be an ice rink

It was a roller skating rink, and was opened in 1932 as the Ritz Roller Rink.
In 1960 the building was taken over by the Rodney Youth Centre.

Liverpool's only ice-skating rink was in Prescot Road, next door to the Casino cinema (later Top Rank Bingo).

I was close Thanks for the info.

There's an old photo and more details of the Ritz Roller Rink here

I remember when it was a car showroom as late as the 50's, the roller rink was still open too.

Excellent. Thanks for that. Very interesting.
