Report - United Mersey Supply Co Ltd. Liverpool March 2016

[Degenatron]

A bit of a dump this one. All 8 floors of it but it killed an hour.

History. Apologies to bignickb but the only history I can find is in his thread from last month so ive borrowed it.

Created in April 1965, they were a ships' stores supply company providing non specialised food, beverages and tobacco to docked vessels!

In those days, the Liverpool waterfront was a hive of activity with ships from all over the world mooring up to load or unload cargo. And the crews required large amounts of 'Shopping' to tick them over during the long, isolated voyages.

They traded with a list of agencies providing wholesale stock of many kinds, they are still listed on a first floor reception desk.

From 1990, there are no records of trading as the company was dissolved.

The highlight was Trancentral shitting a brick when a cat ran past us.

Explored with Trancentral and Rox

Some photos

The canteen was closed unfortunately.

That old cliché.
