Bermingham Dining Room Liverpool

[Mentalcal]

Hiya!!
I'm looking for any pictures, maps or information on a cocoa room 17 Great George Place Liverpool, could possibly be called Bermingham Dining Room. The proprietor was William Henry Blythe in 1901 and William Greenwood in 1911 who was Williams Son in Law!!
Many Thanks!!

In the city's Licensing Report Book dated 1909 there are two pubs/inns or whatever in Gt George Place, at No 1 and No 33, so it is unlikely that the Bermingham was licensed.

Oooo... thats interesting!! Its not in the Gores Directories either... but apparently it did exist but I can't find pics or maps to even show the shape of the road as there is presently only 1 standing building and can't understand the numbering as the existing place is only short!!

This is the only building left and its number 3-4 but only space for a few more buildings each side so can't work out where old road went!!

Not surprising, if it's anything like the cocoa room in the photo I linked to above, which says: 'a carter can be seen afront the Cocoa Rooms which were set up by the Temperance Society as an alternative to the ruins of alcohol[/b]'

I'd have to check, but I think that the Quakers may have set up similar places in Birmingham ~ eg Cadburys.

It is listed in Gores 1901 under Cocoa Rooms so prob would have been similar!! Just someone in records office said they had seen a pic of 'the Bermingham Dining Room' in the past in Great George Place but I can't find it or where it was... its driving me nuts!!
