Before the 3rd national lockdown descended my twin brother Stephen and I decided to jump the train down from Kirkby to Liverpool City Centre and visit some of the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, we walked down Old Hall Street on the way to The Lion Tavern Pub, its a street normally bouncing ,shops,cafe's and restaurants give this street a special vibe ,the architecture is also fabulous, lots of Grade II listed building line the street ,when the lockdown gets lifted beginning on the 12 April this street will once again be buzzing again, lets hope so anyway.

Old Hall Street is one of Liverpools oldest streets and architecturally one of its most interesting, the street dates from the 13th century. Liverpool by 1795 overtook London as the leading British importer of cotton, a majority of the beautiful buildings you see today were constructed on the profits made from the cotton industry. The Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building dominates the street ,although drastically altered in the 1960's its still a very eye catching building, The Albany Buding is a grand 19th century Victorian structure, a Grade II listed building, these are just two of the great buildings along this famous street ,my twin brother Stephen and I were heading to The Cross Keys Pub ( Earle Street ) and walked down Old Hall Street ,we stopped for a coffee in Starbucks and sat outside were we chilled out and took in the great architecture of this street. A wonderful street, most definitely well worth a visit if you're in the area.
