When the Church Street store closes its doors in August after being there since 1928, a huge part of Liverpool’s history will go Curiously
That is not to say I think the relocation to South John Street is a waste of money, or that it will be a terrible place to shop. It’s likely that Liverpool’s shoppers will adore its brand new venue, which will feature a “next generation" food hall.
The old, smaller food-to-go cafe on the bottom floor, accessed via Basnett Street, used to serve a delicious cone of baking hot chips, covered in vinegar. That cafe, and those chips, are long gone but I can strongly recall the taste of those chips as if I had them yesterday. George Henry Lee’s moved and rebranded as John Lewis, Rapid which took its place collapsed in 2017 and Williamson Square’s fountains which I foolishly ran through as a child have been turned off for years. Obviously, some of this is me applying rose tinted glasses.
