This rang a bell, as I was a student at Liverpool University in the early 70s, and remember walking past it.
Just looked it up - the building I knew is now student accommodation and called St Andrews Gardens, but it was known as the bullring. It is located in the area between Lime Street station and the University Engineering department. However, the student accommodation's web site mentions that there were several bullrings in the city of which just this one remains.
There is a very good photo of it here. Comparing this with the other photos in the article, I suspect St Andrews was the real bullring.

Hope this helps

Was it St Andrews Gardens off Moor Place? Now student accomodation I believe.
Beaten to it again!
