A Merseyside club lived many lives before it brought back "the spirit of the sixties."
Built in 1884, the Lathom Club on Lathom Avenue in Seaforth was first a social hall before it became a cinema. Opening as a picture house in 1912, the cinema's motto was "come once and you're a regular patron," but four years later it was shut when the arrival of war disrupted business.
After WWI, the site was used as a school kitchen before being bought by Crosby Corporation in 1949. But it took on a new lease of life in the sixties when it was revived and became synonymous with Merseybeat.
