Bold Street, Liverpool

Bold Street is a street in Liverpool, England. It is famous for its cafes, high street stores such as Waterstone's and Holland & Barrett, and for the Church of St Luke, which is situated at one end. The other end leads into the area surrounding Clayton Square, which is part of the main retail district of central Liverpool. Liverpool Central, one of Liverpool's main stations after Liverpool Lime Street, can also be accessed via an entrance on Bold Street. For the most part, Bold Street is pedestrianised and cars do not have access.

In recent years, the street has formed the basis of a local urban legend regarding time slip phenomena in which people have claimed to travel briefly back in time to Bold Street as it was in the 1950s and 1960s.

The street is immortalised in a song of the same name by Liverpool-based singer-songwriter Eugene McGuinness, featured on his debut EP 'The Early Learnings of...'; distributed by Domino Records in 2007.
