Still on the betwixt drinkies... This time at, in my opinion, Liverpool's best cocktail bar, .

If you haven't tried it, you must. It's at the top of Seel St opposite The Razz (The Blue Angel for those not in the know 😉)

Make sure you tell the bar staff I told you about the place 😉

Happy Christmas!

The scorpion from yesterday's radio show. I was teasing it until Heather, the handler, warned me if I carried on it would probably sting me 🧐🦂

All the animals were brought in by Party Central Wildlife Experience Ltd who are based in Kirkby.

St George's Hall Liverpool Summer 1853/54 showing 'The Lost Steps' and the pediment sculpture

This is one of the earliest photographs of the building and we can date it relatively accurately due to two facts. Firstly, the steps up to the South Entrance. We know, because of newspaper reports at the time, that they had been removed by the December of 1854.

The second fact that we can use to date tbe image is the name of the photographer - it is accredited to a 'Mr Forrest'. Now, under normal circumstances, that wouldn't be overly helpful, but, in this case, we know that photographs were a relatively new medium and that a Mr James A Forrest is listed as one of the founding members of the Liverpool Photographic Society that was started in March 1853.

Using that information, and the additional fact that the shadows cast are sharp and from the sun being very high in the sky, we can hazard a pretty good guess that it is the summertime of 1853 or 1854.

The main reason the steps were removed was to make the hall look more 'clean', like the Parthenon atop the Acropolis in Athens.

Bonus Fact: The balustrades that can be seen on the plateau at the top of the steps were repurposed and used around the museum. They can still be seen there today.
