Naked initiations, reselling shop-bought cream cakes and waiting on rock royalty are some of the colourful memories shared by one former employee of a perhaps the most unique restaurant ever to open in Liverpool.
Before Radio City took over the top of St Johns Beacon in 2000, it was once home to the revolving Tower Restaurant situated nearly 400ft up in the air. Construction of the Liverpool skyline landmark tower began in 1965 and took five years to complete.
The Tower Restaurant opened at the top of St Johns Beacon in 1971 and ran for over 10-years. Derek Harrison, 65, was only a teenager when he began working as chef at the restaurant in 1973.
