"It all came tumbling down" influenced me as well.
I knew Liverpool had lost a lot in the War, but that was a drop in the ocean compared to what went in the 1960s - and the demolition continues.
Most of the pubs seemed to survive the 1960s, but they're getting pulled down at an alarming rate now.

Don't get me started on the cinemas!
The Futurist, the Scala, the Bedford in Walton, and the Princess in Kirkdale are all threatened with demolition.
