A demolished hotel where generations tied the knot and downed their first pint also boasted its own nightclub.
Located on Cherryfield Drive in Kirkby, The Golden Eagle Hotel also had a bar, restaurant and acted as a party venue for private functions. Opening on July 15, 1965, the £180,000 three star Golden Eagle was the area's first residential hotel.
Meeting demand for residents and visiting business people from the rapidly growing Kirkby Industrial Estate, it became a landmark in the town with many special memories being made there. To celebrate its official opening, the Liverpool ECHO reported how a dinner was hosted for 100 guests.
