A lost underground social club loved by thousands was a place where workers "made friends for life".
Located in the basement of the Royal Liver Building, for years staff would head to the Royal Liver Social Club to enjoy a pint or two during dinner when it was part of working culture, or to celebrate a special occasion. Formed by the Board of Directors of the Royal Liver Friendly Society in the early 1980s, the club was originally exclusive to Royal Liver Staff, but later opened up to staff from other tenants in the building and members of the public.
Open a few days a week during lunch or after work, the Royal Liver Social Club was incredibly popular, particularly on paydays. Two entrances, one from inside the Liver Building itself and a flight of metal stairs on Water Street, would lead staff to a small bar, where they could grab a drink or have a game of pool before heading back to work, the Liverpool ECHO previously reported.
