[2] From the 1860s, Victoria Street was the location of many offices and commercial buildings that meant it played a key part during the growth of Liverpool.

[3] During the later part 19th century, the street became home to fruit and produce dealers and their warehouses, aided by its proximity to the docks and Liverpool Exchange railway station.

[7] The warehouse part of the building that backs onto Mathew Street originally held Eric's Club and later the Rubber Sole bar.

[8] During its four-year lifespan, Eric's hosted local bands such as Dead or Alive, Echo & the Bunnymen and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark as well as international acts like U2, Talking Heads and The Ramones.

[1] The ground floors and warehouses have been converted into a pub / bar, but the main exchange hall remains relatively untouched.
