P.GALKOFF
The historic frontage of a Liverpool butchers which supplied meat to the Titanic will be moved to the Museum of Liverpool.
The listed tiled front of P.Galkoff Family Butchers on Pembroke Place will be saved thanks to work between National Museums Liverpool and the council’s heritage team.
The distinctive green art deco tiles have been partly hidden by hoardings in recent years but are now set for a new lease of life in a move backed by the Galkoff family.
Built around 1820 as a house and then used as a hardware shop, 29 Pembroke Place became a furniture shop before being converted into a kosher butcher’s in 1907 when it was bought by Percy Galkoff.
In 1930 Mr Galkoff put up the tiles with the name P.Galkoff in gold lettering and the Hebrew symbol for kosher food. It was for these unique features and the important role Galkoff’s played in the story of the city’s Jewish community that the frontage was listed Grade II in 2007.
