Liverpool Stadium information


Foundation stone.

Liverpool Stadium was a 3,700 capacity boxing arena on St Paul's Square, Bixteth Street, Liverpool, England. It was the UK's first purpose built boxing arena. The foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Lonsdale on 22 July 1932, and it was opened to the public on 20 October 1932 by Liverpool's Lord Mayor. The facade was finished in faience tiling with Art Deco detail, as were the lobby, corridors and public areas inside. The arena itself was wood panelled. The architect was Kenmure Kinna.

Aside from boxing, it hosted wrestling matches, pop and rock music concerts. Artists such as The Beatles, Lou Reed, David Bowie and Hawkwind played there.[1] It was also used for political hustings and trade union meetings, and it even hosted the 1951 Conservative Party conference.[1] It closed in 1985 and was demolished in 1987.
