A building that was once home to a much-loved nightclub has fallen victim to several large fires over the years.
Earlier this week, a fire broke out in the former 051 nightclub on Mount Pleasant in Liverpool City Centre. Emergency services rushed to the scene, at around 11.42am on Tuesday, August 2, as thick black smoke billowed from a missing window panel.
As Merseyside Police closed both Mount Pleasant and Brownlow Hill while fire crews from four engines battled the blaze, neighbours and local businesses were advised to keep doors and windows closed. The nearby Mount Pleasant car park was also closed while fire crews controlled the fire, said to have started on the ground floor stair well.
