Separated by the Mystery park, Smithdown Road and High Street run almost parallel through Wavertree.
Long the home of Liverpool's students, Smithdown Road was once characterised by its 10 pubs - 'The Smithdown Ten' - most of which are now long gone. Today, the road is now home to more artisanal venues, including a wood-fired pizza restaurant, bistros and several craft beer bars.
Similarly, Wavertree High Street was once a hive of pubs and local businesses. Like on Smithdown, many of these pubs have closed - along with plenty of shops.
