This statement "At that time in Liverpool, a number of Polynesian restaurants had opened, and "Tiki" food became a fad." calls for some serious research by Britiki agents, for sure!

When I was researching my ancestry, I discovered that every major town/city had directories or gazetteers published, many by a company called 'Kelly's'. They are essentially street and business indexes. I have used them to track down former homes and premises of ancestors. It hadn't ever crossed my mind to read them for tiki-type business names at the same time! But how obvious is that now? :lol:

Liverpool had business directories published for 1766 - 1970... So, any bars around in 1961 should be documented. These books should be available in Liverpool Central Library to view.

Any agents close to Liverpool?
