Been wanting this for a while now, fortunately an opportunity arose
A lot of the original features remain but wont be for long the way they were smashing things.
visited solo & with @Choo Choo m8ty
The building opened in 1888 on Victoria street as a goods warehouse for the London & north western railway,
to serve exchange station on Tithebarn street 1888 - 1950.
Was then converted to a fruit exchange in 1923, by james B Hutchins
it became the main trading point for fruit in Liverpool which came from both Abroad & the UK,
the public would bid for the fruit in the 2 exchange halls or auction rooms.
The warehouses on Mathew street were used to store the fruit being bought & sold.
The building contains 2 grand wood panelled auction rooms & ceramic tiled corridors & stair cases,
is grade 2 listed, closed sometime during the 2000s.
The building is currently owned by cloudbluff properties & is being converted.
