Photo of long gone Liverpool pub

[Roymol]

Following the recent death of one of our oldest friends we are anxious to locate any photo of the pub in which we (mis-)spent so many hours of our student life between 1964-1967. Does anyone have such a snap of the Abercromby Vaults which stood at 130 Mount Pleasant Liverpool, just opposite the entrance to the Roman Catholic Cathedral?

There's a photo in the Liverpool University archives: https://sca-archives.liverpool.ac.uk/Record/121536/HierarchyTree#tabnav

Shaun,

Thank you for the response. I had identified the University archive as a resource and discovered, as you may have, that the archive is not viewable online. Currently the archive viewing facilities are subject to Covid-19 restrictions and some reservations are restricted to 48 hour applications. I shall consider visiting at some later time.

Regards

Though a very quick look did not find any images of the pub, this is a good site for anything Liverpool and may be of some use:

Thank you. I had located this one from 1965 which sits within the time of my patronage  The construction of the Roman Catholic Cathedral explains the crane located to the left of the picture. I have also located a Pathe News video of the Consecration of the Cathedral which shows the upper relief of the pub in passing but, sadly, nothing showing the full frontal relief.

There is this one on Twitter which may be 1930s?
