ADELPHI HOTEL

(now known as the Britannia Adelphi Hotel)

Laurel and Hardy came to Liverpool on three out of their four tours. The first time was w/c 19 May 1947, when they packed out the
Liverpool Empire
each and every show, with hundreds more being turned away. They returned in 1952, w/c 19 May, but all the
exhuberance of the first visit was absent, and they scarcely made the newspapers. On the third visit, w/c 26 October 1953, Laurel & Hardy
were even more poorly received, and were described in reviews as being "dated". They stayed at the Aldelphi Hotel on each occasion.
