The original Pontacks Coffee-shop was located on the north side of Water Street in Liverpool many years ago. There are few references left today but it had a large “news-room” and was the regular meeting place of Liverpool’s chamber of commerce. It was, for many years, the main meeting place of Liverpool’s businessmen and civic leaders, as well as the place where preliminary bankruptcy meetings would take place.
