The original name of the Bank was LIVERPOOL TRUSTIES SAVINGS BANK, They then shortened the name to the TSB.

That was based in the building not far away that has since been called Hex amongst other things, at 3-5 Thomas Street
Birkenhead.

No atmosphere was the old Zoo night club. Next to the old ford garage now called Hex / House of Pain. I believe the remains of an old church are in the basement of that building. So im told anyway !

Yep doctor_frick happy your right.

Never been in there, looks like quite a nice building.
Remember seeing a big, thick 'pile' of blood outside not that long ago. It was as if someone had got 8 pints of blood, added gelatine, and flopped it onto the pavement. Rancid.

Zu was Stairways mate. As for Hex that places is apparently quite haunted.

Nooooo Zoo was the old atmosphere, i spent many a drunken night in there. Stairways may have been called "Zu" but this was the "Zoo". Quality establishment ha ha

As for haunted, i use the gym in there but aint seen no ghosts !

I didn't realise they'd called that club Zoo at one point as well - sorry Frick.

I went to Atmosphere on a Thursday for rock night - lying about my age omg

Ha Ha yep think everyone in there was underage, im going back to about 1996 when it was called the Zoo.

It was Atmosphere then Zoo and then Hex.It is supposed to be haunted and Dr.Keiren O'Keefe from Most Haunted has conducted an investigation into the apparant haunting.
Sorry I don't know how to provide a link but you can view the investigation at www.parascience.org.uk aswell as others from the local area such as Cammel Laird and a really spooky former school in Birkenhead (doesn't mention the name) and a ghost caught on camera in the docks.
Take a look it's interesting.
