Liverpool Racquet Club
A gentlemans club founded in 1874 for real tennis and other racquet sports. Facilities were improved by the addition of a dining room, billiards room and a bowling alley. The latter was converted in 1894 into five courts. The building was damaged during WWII and in 1981 it was destroyed by the Toxteth riots. The club moved to the Hargreaves Building in Chapel Street shortly afterwards but the club ceased in 2001, the building becoming the Racquet Club Hotel.
