38 Townwall Street

The Chandos in the late 1940's, this was taken down in the 60's to make way for the new dual carriageway.

The sign of the "Liverpool Arms" was taken down sometime between 1895 and 1901. It sold for £2,500 in 1906 when it parted company with C. L. Adams and it was re-fronted in 1929.

It closed for the duration of hostilities in October 1940 and never reopened.

Reinstatement of war damage was refused in December 1950 and a compulsory purchase order was made in January 1954 and confirmed in May 1955. By then it was for the former site of the "Chandos". It became the property of the town when compensation of £770 was paid. In return, the town envisaged a converted value payment of £620.
