A hostel a week – Liverpool

The first youth hostels to be located in Liverpool were almost as old as the YHA itself, though they were set up for potential international travellers rather than for YHA’s own local members.

There were similar facilities for intended foreign users in London and Harwich in the early 1930s. All these hostels were temporary, small and short-lived.

The 1932 and 1933 handbooks for the National YHA and the Merseyside Region advised of such limited facilities in two separate premises in Liverpool, one for men and one for women. There was a similar temporary affair for women in Chester.
