Liverpool City Council has announced that the historic frontage of a butcher's shop which supplied kosher meat to the Titanic will be preserved as a Museum of Liverpool display.

Trading from 1907 to the late 1970s in Pembroke Place, Galkoff's was the city's last kosher butcher. Its distinctive green Art Deco tiles were put up in 1930 and the frontage received listed status in 2007.

Assistant Mayor Councillor Nick Small said the frontage would be removed when work begins on the expansion of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, which now owns the site.

"I'm delighted that we've been able to find a way forward. We shouldn't forget our past."
