A Liverpool pub that became 'a legend among sailors all over the world' now lies empty and largely forgotten in the city centre.
The Nook pub on the corner of Griffiths Street and Nelson Street in Liverpool's Chinatown became famous world-wide when its name was spread by travelling businessmen and seaman in foreign ports during the city's maritime heyday.
Since 1940, it's also been known as the Chinese Local, a plaque attesting to the fact being fixed to its Nelson Street frontage and has been called 'Britain's only Chinese pub'.
