The owners of a family-run Chinese restaurant that has been at the heart of the community for 30 years said they didn't realise how loved they were until they announced their upcoming closure.
Last week, The Beijing Restaurant on Eccleston Street in Prescot took to its Facebook page to announce the news they will close from June 5 onwards as the owner has decided to retire. The team said it is "with sadness" that they made the announcement, but thanked their loyal customers who have "become friends" over the last three decades.
At the time, customers past and present flooded social media with their fond memories of times at the restaurant. Many said The Beijing was their favourite restaurant while others said the closure marked "the end of an era."
