Detail of decoration on the Liverpool Sailors' Home gateway, now standing at the entrance to the Liverpool One Shopping Centre, near the site of the original building.
The Liverpool Sailors' Home operated from 1850 to 1969, providing cheap lodging to sailors (and, it was hoped, more wholesome entertainment and recreation than what they might find on the dockside).
