….St Peters Church, Seel St (now Alma de Cuba bar) was the oldest Catholic Church in Liverpool until it closed in 1976.

It was my Mother-in-Laws Church even through WW2 when she lived in blitz-torn city centre. She told me the children from the school next door would sit on the first floor vestibule and go straight through an entrance for their daily lessons. She married in the church but because her husband wasn’t a Catholic, they used the small altar in the corner chapel which is still there today;

The Olympia Theatre was designed by Frank Matcham and owned by Moss Empires Ltd. It is situated in the West Derby Road in Everton. The Olympia seated 3750 in stalls and 3 balconies, and has an ornate interior decorated with elephants and Indian Panelling. It had a vast stage, and was also designed to house circus events – the elephant, horse and lions’ accommodation still survives below the stage. -

…talking about women, for a while when I went in, there was a hole in the glass door panel going into one of the rooms that was reportedly the result of a punch from the mother of a former Everton player. There was also a bloke who regularly slept undisturbed lying down in the lounge.
