The glass roof of the Clayton Square shopping centre and the first floor coffee shop. The original Clayton Square was laid out between 1745-50, named after William Clayton, Mayor of Liverpool in 1689 also representing the town in eight parliaments between 1698-1714. The grand houses eventually became retail establishments and even a theatre but over the passage of time the quality of the shops deteriorated and the square became a bit of an eyesore. In 1986, after a Public Inquiry following numerous calls for the old square to be restored, the entire area was demolished to make way for the present retail development.
