The owner of the shop was undeterred by the protests
Religious and moral campaigners protested outside Sven Books, which opened on Smithdown Road, Wavertree back in 1981. This was much to the dismay of some people who lived in the area as they discovered it to be selling 'adult' material.
The protesters were accused by the shop's owners of a dirty tricks campaign which included throwing creosote over the store, as well as pushing pornographic magazines through the letterboxes of neighbouring shops in plain wrapping, which the owner's of Sven Books said had not come from their store. Following greater powers being granted to local councils in licensing sex shops in 1983, Sven Books' application was turned down after councillors deemed it to be in an inappropriate location of the city being close to homes, schools and churches. The shop was forced to shut soon after.
