A former Liverpool nightclub that was popular in the eighties had a "first of its kind" dancefloor imported from France.
Occupying the former Scamps premises on the junction of Mount Pleasant and Brownlow Hill, Bunters first opened its doors in April 1983. Inspired by the fictional character Billy Bunter from the mythical Greyfriars School, the club aimed to be "one of the liveliest "on Merseyside.
The brainchild of businessmen Ernie Priestman, Paul Twemlow and Phil Brown, the building was completely gutted, redesigned and rebuilt - boasting an "upmarket image." With a dark green and grey colour scheme, the club was carpeted throughout with ‘B’ motifs and carpet panel-pictures of Billy Bunter, with large murals being found on the walls.
