Wow Gerard! Really interesting pics. Never been in the building before. Cracking interior, I hope the fittings don't get stripped out.

Fantastic pics, Gerard. Sad to see another Liverpool institution disappear. Your photographs serve as a good record of T. Brown's.

Thanks Gerard, not just for the pics, magnificent though they were, but also the memories they triggered. Thanks again.

Gerard, fantastic documentary of the last days of a shop the city will never see the likes of again. Anyone coming from Gerard Gardens area didn't own a watch, we had the Liver buildings and the T Browns clock to tell the time.
Do you know what the future is for the vacant shop?
See if you can get some shots of the disused bits as well,the 4th floor and above. Supposedly a lot of it has remained untouched for a decade or more. I asked the lift man if he could go up the 5th so I could stick my head out the door for a minute,but he wouldn't. There's a thread about Lewis's on here...

Until 1976 that is when my dad got me one of those digital watches that had a blank maroon face, then you pressed a button on the side and the LCD/LED light lit up the time. Great for when you were in bed in the dark. Often wondered why you'd want to know the time at 4.20 am. A snazzy easy clasp silver metal strap too that caught the bum fluff hairs on your arm.
