My then (lovely) girl friend was a staff nurse in Alder Hey and we would meet at 6 for a meal and the pictures or even the theatre.That was in the 1950s.

It really was the place to see and be seen! El Cabala was a favourite haunt: I used to meet my fiancé there (an Italian waiter at La Bussola-where I worked for a short spell.) I have memories of the Royal Restaurant, Kardomah, the Jaguar Showroom, Jaeger's - I went on to work at McFadden and Barron- off one of the streets running parallel to Bold Street-can't remember the name. This is a great project- reviving my past and memories of Liverpool, my birthplace-I've been living in Canada for an age. Yes, I remember Bold Street in the sixties.

When I googled the address I was sent to this site. I am transcribing the letters & publishing them to our website soon. They will only be available online until they sell next week, have a look over the next few days if youre interested. www.lawsons.com.au I am doing some research for an auction I am doing next week from some personal letters from an Australian WW1 veteran (Richard Learoyd) to his friend (Mark Roche) in Garrylough, Wexford Ireland where he recommends that he visit his friend in Liverpool who works in Bold Street for a company called John Byrne & Son Ltd.

I think both el and la cabala were owned by two hungarian brothers, mr kushner was my boss. And yes all the Italian staff from the Adelphi used to frequent both. lets face it bold street was the place to be in the 60s and 70s,I enjoyed every minute!

Down the stairs, turn left at the bottom of Bold st?) I loved working with Jennie, what a Lady with a character! I was then sent off by them into the wilds at Uttoxeter! I have lived in Spain more or less since then, so memories are a bit vague! But, yes, full of great times and memories.

The main things that I noticed at the time were Neil's Shoe Shop on the corner, and the massive chair with holes in the arms in another shop, which must have been an antique hearing aid. I also spent time in the aforementioned Coffee Bars, drinking half coffee, half chocolate. We thought that we were terribly sophisticated. Around ten/fifteen years later, I worked for Arrowsmith Holidays, unfortunately, the atmosphere had gone. Perhaps it was because we had all moved on to Matthew Street to watch my Cousin's Art Teacher's Boyfriend, John Lennon years before. Happy Days.
