Jon Dunnington, 36, is the owner of Switch CoffeeBar in Wolstenholme Square in the city centre. He is the brains behind a new Instagram account and website of the same name that sprung up last month, showcasing what the square has to offer.
In recent years, the square has reinvented itself again, with a striking central sculpture installed in 2006 called Penelope by Cuban artist Jorge Pardo. There are also unique venues like the bar SipSin which is completely alcohol-free and Pattersons who have become renowned for their fried chicken. Jon feels Switch fits into this new trend.
Jon is originally from Stockbridge Village but now splits his time between Liverpool city centre and New York, where he works on his OVO Vodka company. While Jon feels he has a clear idea of what Wolstenholme Square should be, he feels it is not currently living up to its potential, believing many walk past it from the bustling Slater Street on a Friday or Saturday night without realising what's there.
“We want to educate people walking past, letting people know this is an avenue to come to. The latest licence is Sister Rays which is 1am. We want the square to be somewhere where they do their pre-drinking.”
