New Liverpool Legion Branch #38

Building the new Liverpool Legion

For many years the Mersey Branch #38 of the Royal Canadian Legion was on the Liverpool Waterfront. The first building had been located on Inness's Wharf. That building was demolished and a new building was built around the same location. That building was used as the Legion from the 1960's until just a few years ago. The present Legion was built along side of what was the Metropolitan Store (Now Bargain Shop). The new Legion is much smaller than the previous building but is certainly manageable for the Legion members. The previous building was in need of expensive repairs and the cost was too much to handle. Darts, pool, flea markets, bingo, Legion and Ladies Auxiliary meetings, dances and more are held here. I will go in detail on another post of the first 2 Legion buildings. The present Legion is located at 43 Henry Henry Drive and can be seen quite easily when driving through the Liverpool Parking Lot because of it's bright blue and yellow color.
