Lost Liverpool nightclub filled with 'a motley crew of characters'

A lost Liverpool nightclub loved for decades was filled with "a motley crew of characters" over its lifetime.

Back in the 1970s, Grease hit cinemas, ABBA release Dancing Queen and a number of Liverpudlians were wearing bell bottom pants or tie dye outfits. But it was also the decade that saw local clubbers religiously spend their weekends at the likes of The Grafton, The Hollywood, The She Club - and Pickwicks.

Also known as Mr Pickwicks, the club on Fraser Street near London Road first opened its doors in May 1972. It was one of several clubs, along with Falcon's Crest in Formby and Wookey Hollow in Tuebrook, owned by the late body-building champion and former Knowsley councillor Terry Phillips.
