If you dont already know it heres the history
The Neo-classical building was designed by the architect Edmund Aikin and built between 1815–16 as a subscription assembly room for the Wellington Club. It was originally used by high society for assemblies, dance balls and parties. The Wellington Club was wound up in 1922.

Between 1923 and 1940 it was the Embassy Club and was used for tea dances, classes and weddings. During WW2, the building became the first base for the Rodney Youth Centre though bomb damage in 1941 damaged all of the original ceilings with the exception of the ballroom.

The building officially opened as Liverpool Irish Centre on 1 February 1965 hosting ceilis, music, drama performances as well as serving as a base for clubs and societies. The Irish Centre relocated in the 1990s, and the building became derelict.

Thats it really, not showing you anything new here but its undeniably a stunning building so hope u enjoy my pics.

Thanks For Looking​
 
Good one Glynn i went here last year was a nightmare getting in, was kind of a creepy place.

its a strange one aint it, I assumed it would be well sealed after our visit but it seems to be open & closed over the years, its not a difficult place for them to seal either tbh.
It will be a real shame if it gets torched or something.
