About this audio guide
This guide to The Florrie on Mill Street in Liverpool follows Bernard Hall, a Victorian merchant, former mayor and magistrate who watched the boys of the Dingle pass through his court. It turns on the daughter whose name he put above the door, and on the century of boys and boxers who came through it afterwards. Best heard on the pavement opposite the main entrance, where you can see both the lettering and the corner tower.
