Nice one Ste..
That place is one of the Best Pubs in Liverpool..Bar none.

I'm with you there -The Dispensary, Dr Duncans, the one in Allerton Road, I love all the Cains pubs. Its a strange coincidence that both the Dispensary and Brewery Tap were both called the Grapes in a previous life.

The Grove, Hawthorn Grove

Thats sad to see. It was doing a roaring trade when I went past in 2004! Think I took an image of it back then too but that is in Northumberland. Will fish it out if possible when I go up there this week.

But that is sad to see as it really was what you could call a "Back Street Pub".

Anfield pubs.

The Cabbage Hall.

The Willow Bank ( used to be known as 'Ma Pate's' in the old days)

and the Clubmoor (or the Titch as the locals know it). :)

The Flat Iron . Junction of Walton Breck rd, Anfield rd. (LFC in the distance)

I went in the Willowbank after one of the Arsenal games, its been done up really nice inside now.

Great photos, Lindy.

They all seem in good condition.
In South Liverpool, so many have been closed down, and quite a few demolished recently.

I'll take a few more when I'm on my travels. I take the dog for long walks.
One thing Anfield has got is loads of pubs ! .. too many I suppose ! :)

The Dryden, Edge Lane
The Royston Arms, Royston Street

Just had a look but to no avail. I am sure I took more images of that area when I went! Oh Well.

How long has "The Dryden" on Edge Lane been boarded up? It's not going to get demolished is it? Surely not! It's too good a building to waste all becuase the Council want's to generate a possible 'false image' on the city. It will be a sad day if and when it goes for good.

The Dryden, Edge Lane
The Royston Arms, Royston Street

Is the Royston one In Edge Lane Area too?

It has a pub sign and I like taking pics of the signs.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

It's on the corner of Royston Street and Dorothy Street. I was there a few weeks ago when walking from Edge Lane down to Wavertree Road.

One thing I've noticed about a lot of pubs is the lack of good pub-signs. A lot just opt for the name of the pub on a cheap wooden plaque.
Re: The Royston...I think one side of the sign was burned, but the other was still visible.

The Lamb, Willowbank and Railway Inn in Wavertree have new pub signs up.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

A few pubs from the Vauxhall area of our great city (all images taken on 19FEB07)...

The Crown Vaults, Kirkdale Road This pub got a new roof and new windows a year or so ago but nothing has happened yet on the ground floor. I don't know if we are going to see a grand opening or not of this pub but it's good to see it in beteer shape than it previously was. Just out of interest, wasn't there a 60's midrise office block to the right where those 1990's apartments are now? I remember something like a grey 60's block being here when I was small.

Top of Scottie Wasn't this a pub up untill a few years ago? I can't for the life of me remember what it's name was which is bad seeing as I've been past it goodness knows how many times in the past! Hopefully, the building firm will keep this rather grand building in good sahpe. That stone detailing can't be cheap to replace!

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/5486/20070219103qv7.jpg
Site of The Hamlet, Scottie This was pulled down a few months ago sadly after a period of dereliction. Another pub along Scottie Road has bitten the dust.

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3139/20070219104ki5.jpg
The Cunard, Stanley Road This pub is still open for business; it's shut here because this image was taken 0954! I think even by my standards, 10:00 is a little early!

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3622/20070219109vv7.jpg
The Stanley Bar, Stanley Road/Gt Mersey Street The pub sign here is actually tiled which is unuseral. This does however show how confident the original owners were seeing as they thought their pub would always be called "The Stanley Bar". Again, it looks as if some work has been done on the building but it is debateable as to wheather a Pint will be served there in the future. I think this image is repeated on many other street corners across the city. The pub was once the centre of the community (apart from the churches) but when those communities got swept away or forced out, the pub population started to deplete. Scottie is a good example of this as it has gone from having "a pub on every corner" to a handfull.

http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/1093/20070219132sn8.jpg
The Prince of Wales, Stanley Road This is truely a gem of a building! Just look at all that detailing around and between the windows. The brick and the stine have aged gracefully to produce a building which adds so much character to this part of the city. You don't get such quality any where else and is something which I miss when I am away from Liverpool. People don't appreciate what they have got any more. I say, look up from the pavement and appreciate your surroundings. You never know when you might not see things like this again!

http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/8931/20070219133aef6.jpg
The Prince of Wales, Stanley Road I love this building so much, here's a close up. I think that it might need a little bit of repair work but on the whole, it's a good building.

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/8163/20070219140hg2.jpg
The Easby, Easby Street One for Max here, this pub sign has been recycled as doubt that this building has been dserving fine ales since 1762! Beneath the paint (when viewing the orginal) I could pcik put that it was a ale company who orginally made the sign but the owners of "The Easby" painted over it all an made a cheap pub sign. This is now defunct and boarded up.

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2946/20070219142et9.jpg
The Saddle Inn, Fountains Road/Sessions Road An updated view of the Saddle for Chris George. It's an interesting building when you get down and look at it as the taller part looks aolder than the red brick lower floors which appear to have been added on at a later date. It you notice, the taller part of the building is a light brown brick where as the facarde is red pressed brick. This could possibly date the older part of the building to date from before the industrialisation of Vauxhall/Kirkdale took hold in the 1850's onward. So it is likely that the brown brick building would have stood in isolation next to a little lane linking Everton Village to Kirkdale or something like that. Now, the building is more or less back to standing in a isolated position with no buildings around it.

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4/20070219143xn9.jpg
The Kendal, Westminister Road Finally, a nice round building which stands on the corner of Fountains Road and Westminister Road and is just a little bit up from the Saddle Inn.

Hope you enjoyed these images, they will be up on Flickr soon, there are 68 more images like this which all need descriptions writing for them!

Great pics, I drive past those pubs most days, shame to see so many out of use now. I've never seen that Cunard open, does it just open at evenings? It was shut about 2pm today although I have seen people come and go from it who I assume live above.

Great Pics Wallasey..The one you dont know the name of was also Called The Hamlet..

Yep..Thats right Ste..My Nephew had it.

Your not wrong there, there must be one a fortnight closing now in the city. As recently as 1995 I remember going on a crawl from Anfield to town starting off in the Valley and we had about ten pints. Now we'd only manage 3.

we had about ten pints. Now we'd only manage 3.

That's just age catching up! :D

Liverpool is not alone in having lost so many of its old pubs. I thought you may be interested in my feature, 'The Vanished Pubs of Chester' - which you can find here-

http://www.bwpics.co.uk/oldpubs.html

When just starting out on the ale trail at aged about 17 and knocking around the Birkett Street tenements/four squares area, we would start out at the Soho Arms, head along Greaty to The Lamplighter and the 7 Stars then perhaps take in the New York and Old Campfield before heading down to the Tugboat which was a great little walk and night and I think only the Old Campfield is the only one of those trading just now.

Apologies for the delay....

The Dock Hotel, Freeman Street, Bhd This sits at the bottom of Corporation Road and is next to the now defunct dock railway. The A554 Tower Road is on the other side of the railway and provides a link between Seacombe and Woodside. Watson Street is to the right and runs upto Conway Street and Charing Cross (via Rendell Street)

Now, how about your competitors??

Hope you enjoyed this part of Birkenhead; It was certainly a pleasure to walk round en-route home to Liscard.

Gerard, Thanks for yer digging, much appreciated!

Wallasey you are a legend. Thank you so much for the pic. my computer has been off so only just found it.

Thanks again mate

Tony:)

Your welcome; it wasn't a diversion really seeing as it was on the way home!

it will be interesting to see if these pubs are here in a few years time after Peel have done their work. Wirral MBC might dual Tower Road but I would imagine that this would go straight up to Charing Cross. Well, that's what I would do anyway.

Too many old fashioned pubs have been demolished. The city is becoming too full with these horrible trendy cattlemarkets full of dance music. For a start you can't have a conversation in them.

Last time I went to Woolton the Famous Elephant was closed and most of the letters were taken off. I wonder If the owners are doing It up?

They say they're going to put the Elephant head back up - let's hope they do.

It won't happen, I bet.
Remember when the Crown in Lime Street was called "The Florin & Firkin"?

They'd have a firkin cheek to change the name of the Elephant.

Could someone tell me whatever became of The Newington--my memory is fuzzy, but I remember it being off of Renshaw street, close to Lewis's. This photo is from sometime in the 90s after it had been refurbished.

This pub if I'm not mistaken is situated in Newington (more of a passage than a road), which runs between Bold Street and Renshaw Street opposite Grand Central.

I'm sure it's now known as The Old Rope Walk. I've got a photograph somewhere on my other computer. I'll see if i can find it.

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

^^Welcome Ross08^^ :)

Thank you. I'll confess now though. I'm not actually a new member... I've been posting for a while under the name Ross.

I've not been on the forum for a few weeks because of problems with my internet provider and now I've changed my email address etc. etc.

As its a while since I've been on YO! Liverpool, I've forgotten my p/w and of course if I requested it to be sent to me, it would go to my old email address that no longer exists.

So, maybe there are other ways to go about this situation, but in the end I decided to register again.

Wow, thanks for the speedy answer! I found a photo of the pub on Scouser Dave's site:
http://www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk/pubcrawl/ropewalk/ropewalk1.jpg

I worked in Tate and Lyle's in the mid 70s and often went boozing round the Scottie Road area with the blokes I worked with, most of them lived around the refinery. One pub they often mentioned was Effin' Nelly's, which was round the Limekiln Lane area I think and was so named because of a previous manageress. I can't remember if we ever went in there or not but can anyone remember where it was and what was it's real name. Still makes me laugh whenever I think of it.

I don't remember the proper name of 'effin nellies' it was behind the multi story flats on Vauxhall Rd/Blenheim St. opposite the Shell station that was there in the 70's.
She used to come in the garage to 'phone her orders in because her 'phone was cut off and she was on a cash only basis with the brewery, that was in '71/'72 when i worked down there for a short while.:002:
Ged or Gerard will probably know the proper name.

The Swan in Fleet Street does a nice pint and is very friendly too.

Thanks Ged for the photo of Effin' Nelly's. I didn't realise it was the Tatlock. Gone now I suppose?

I was looking at a picture of The Victoria in Great Howard St further back - it was usually called The Irish House. Cracking pint and the cleanest glasses I've ever seen in a pub. It was great for the 2-10 shift in Tates, we usually had our quota in by about nine and could leave someone to clock us out then sneak out the gate and head down there. The Fly House was too close but okay on nights when there was no foremen round.

It was called "The Tatlock", and it was off Sylvester Street, and on the corner of Hornby Walk and Titchfield Street I think!! My Mar `n` Dar used to go there I think!! I used to rob the Untied Molases factory next door for the treacle when I was a kid!!! :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Masons, Old Swan

Not too far from Liverpool is Haskayne is West Lancs. The Ship Inn is great for home cooked food and next to the canal. Also a small play area for kids too so a good family day out.

Was closed for a while then reopened and looks nicer more red and cream.

I might redo this photo though, but It looks good In Meduim size.

Great, Gerard.
I love the Dingle one.
When was it taken?
It's certainly before 1991 when I moved to the Dingle.

Not sure Phil when it was taken..I was last in Jessie's though with a few of my mates from down that end on May 1st 94..The day Ayrton Senna died..
Watched the race in there...I'd say its late 70's early 80's.

Had a little mooch down by the streets at the back of Berry Street and off Hardman Street. I knew of the Pilgrim pub but didn't know of the Grapes on Knight Street.

Nice pics Ged. The Grapes went all psychedelic for a time and was painted mad colours inside, luckily its returned to being a traditional boozer now.

Heard arty like people go to the Grapes down there.

Could make a good night pic too If you take a close up pic of It.

This is deffo an arty studenty type.

What makes a good pub? Is it the beer, the building, the customers ? the history? or a mix of all ? Me? I like good beer, pleasant company, friendly helpful staff, maybe a good debate or argument, ( as long as it does not get out of hand?) I have probably had a pint in most of the pubs around the city and districts, there are still some gems still out there!!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

the boundary pub was my first port of call on my way into town onsaturday nights in the 70s. My pals and I would all meet in there and then catch a bus tothe Empire corner of Wood Street and Hanover, then walk over to the post office in School Lane, the Triton in Paradise Street, the Carnarvon Castle around Williamson Square, the White Star in Temple Street, the Grapes in Matthew Street and shoot back up to the Empire where we could get served out of hours for the extra pint. Good old days.:PDT11

He was always in the Triton around Last orders..
Happy days indeed mate.

Not sure if The Grove, Plimsoll St, Edge Hill is still standing. Photo taken a few years ago. Whole area scheduled for demolition under the edge Lane improvement scheme

Some more Old Swan pubs

One of the rare original pubs in the L17 area. There are only 3 with Lark Lane having the other two.

Thought of Maxie yesterday when I saw this pub sign. This whole estate on Shard close and Hambledon Close is awaiting demolition.

Question for you ale buffs: Which pub has a sign up outside saying our ale is out of this world - with some 'out of this world creatures painted on it'

I'll post it up next.

It was my neighbors local, he went on holiday on the Saturday, came back and went for a pint, and walked past where it stood before he realised it was gone!!!:PDT_Aliboronz_24: It was nt a bad little ale house.

The Canon. Townsend lane.

I wanted to go to the Canon after the game tonight but my mate couldnt be bothered walking down that far so we only got as far as the Elm House, where they only had Stones on which is awful. I think the Winchester is the best place on that stretch of Townsend Lane.

I got a few Liverpool Pubs yesterday, Three of them worse for wear, and one of them in the finest bit of health...

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7007/imgp4637de2.jpg
King Edward Pub, Roberts Street Hard to think that this pub is worth £3m! I used to think that this pub should be conserved, but looking at it now, It has no real merit about it and the land could be used for something like a nice tower block. Having said that, the location isn't exactly ideal. You have two major roads surrounding two sides of the site, and the nearest bus service is varibly in-frequent. Tricky one really!

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7451/imgp4650fn7.jpg
The Eldonian?, Vauxhall Road/Eldon St, Vauxhall Hard to think that this and many pubs alike were once the centre of the community. Just shows how things change over time ay? Actually, this pub still has most of it's fixtures and fittings left in it; I could see it all through the un-drawn window as I walked past!

EDIT: This pub is (or was) called "The Glass House" as seen on Page 2 of the "How Liverpool used to be" thread.

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8175/imgp4677rx6.jpg
Pub on Mere Lane/Heyworth Street, Everton I must confess that I have fogotten the title of this pub which stands in the shadow of Everton Library! But what a nice looking pub this is! All that mock-tudor detail looks great on this building and is something which would be greatly missed if anything were to happen to it.

http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/8486/imgp4651pa0.jpg

http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/6000/imgp4686pw6.jpg
The Granton Pub, Granton Street/Breckfield Road, Breckfield I bet there were many a laugh in here once! But I think that the bottom image sums up what devistation this part of the city has endured. Breckfield was once a thriving community with a real community spirit. Now, estates surround one side of Breckfield Road, whilst on t'other side, terraces are derelict and waiting to be pulled down. I think that Breckfield Regeneration need to look at themselves and think about what they are doing. I think that they are going about this in the wrong way. It isn't the terraces that need demolishing, it's the estates. True, the terraces need a bit of tidy-ing up, but demolision isn't the answer. They aren't doing this area any favours by demolising swathes of streets that are now derelict. If anything, they are putting Breckfield at a larger disadvantage.

On that note, I will get me coat!

I recall, there was uproar over that plot of land. Is that the one that backs onto toys r us??
Apparently the land was sold for uner 80,00 and there planning to build a tower like the Beetham.
Insider dealing was suspected, And why not!!??
Sh*t, I'd've bought it myself.
Its not what you know...

Has the parkway just closed!

I was only in there in November!:shock:

Oh sorry Max, I thought you only got punch drunk!!
Well they do sell Absynth in the Blue bar, but be careful, Eh.:shock:

The Oakfield and George, both Anfield.

I want to write an email to Casa Del Cocodrilo and the Echo asking but still thinking on what to write.

The Echo says It's a grade 2 listed building.

Black magic, Max?
You know the same firm have painted the Masonic in Lark Lane black.
I don't know how they get away with such things.
(Well I do! It's all down to money).

Yes, the Elephant is Listed, but English Heritage allow Liverpool City Council to grant applications which I suspect wouldn't happen elsewhere.
For instance, 6 telephone masts on the Listed ABC cinema in Lime Street.

Dont surprise me about the Richmond, that place never even got a crowd in for the match. Always had a dodgy air about it IMO. I see the First Base was gutted by fire last week, just days after re-opening under a new licensee.

If you go in the bar at the lowest end of the street and look up at that ornate ceiling, my mate and I painted that in 1979 when the building was being refurbished. There were 30 of us on a YTS - around 3 or 4 of us assigned to a particular tradesman and then we'd switch every few weeks. We knocked down walls, burnt paint off old doors, helped repair the roof, worked with the electrician, the plumber, on the Kango drill etc until it came to a sudden halt when we were all finished up because rumour had it that the bosses were claiming for more workers than were actually there but it was a good 6 months, we spent most of our time in the gallery and in that room with the ceiling up a mobile scaffolding which incidentally had no wheels so we had to pull it around, scraping the lovely mosaic floor and when we did under the archways we had to take a layer off the scaffolding.

That Empire pub (thanks Phil) was where my mates and I would get served after the towel was on every time we went there. The Irish barmaid used to like the cut of me jib or something. That used to be our last watering hole before going down to the pier head to have a cup of soup at the all night cafe before we got our various buses home. Sweet memories:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

D'yer mean someone likes something about yer?

Gedrick, some people thought me quite attractive in my younger days lah.
with me tight Wranglers and mint coloured Ben Shirtman,and long hair.:rolleyes:

Why even the barman in Maxwell,s Plumb would look out for me on a Saturday night and had my round of drinks on the bar before I ever reached it. My mates did take the P***.:shock:

Yes Mark, as you can see Maxwell,s Plumb was one of mine as well.

Maxwell's Plumb, and so is Chippie.

Hey Chippie I didn't know you went to Maxwells :unibrow:

was that the time when you were so drunk you fell asleep on the bus home ??

ha,ha - tell us what happened ! you went around Canny Farm a few times fast asleep didn't you !??

lol !

that was at christmas time and I had to lock up the clinic in the hospital. Went from West Derby road to Canny Farm, back to the Pier Head, then back to Canny Farm. The driver said he,d let me sleep it off for a bit before he awakened me. Had an armful of prezzies too.

Had to go back the next morning to work to check I,d locked the clinic up and put the alarms on...on Christmas Day....:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I think it's absolutely disgusting.
We're supposed to be the Capital of Culture next year, and the first thing that people will see when they leave Lime Street Station is this building with one cheap coat of black emulsion and a sign written by illiterates.
Is this the first impression of Liverpool we want to give to visitors?

Philip, is the Stanley Arms on the same side and location as the abattoir, or am I on the wrong track there?

Philip, is the Stanley Arms on the same side and location as the abattoir

No, the new Stanley as it was known is on the same side as the abattoir and is directly opposite 'Dixies' the Old Stanley Arms. There doing something to the new Stanley after years of neglect after a fire. Don't know if it'll open as a pub again as I don't think it'll get the clientele to keep it afloat.

Thanks Marky. I used to work for the Salvation Army in the men,s hostel down there. I mustn,t have taken much notice as I wizzed passed on my bike.

I walked into the forecourt of the Abattoir to take a photo of that place, and then took a photo of the Old Stanley over the road, and didn't even notice the 'new' Stanley!
I then walked past the church and thought there were too many trees in the way to take a photo, and then I did Cheadle Avenue.

I think it's absolutely disgusting.
We're supposed to be the Capital of Culture next year, and the first thing that people will see when they leave Lime Street Station is this building with one cheap coat of black emulsion and a sign written by illiterates.
Is this the first impression of Liverpool we want to give to visitors?
I've lost all confidence in Liverpool City Council.


I agree. This shouldn't have been allowed to open. There should be some sort of 'safe zone' around Lime Street to stop things like this cropping up.

Great first impression isn't it? - illiterate alcoholics.

Interesting Art-Deco details.

Too high up to be identified by passers-by.
I wonder if it was some sort of in-joke about 'drinking like fishes'.

Interesting old pub but I can't say I think too much of its two tone exterior paint job. Perhaps that's as far as the ladder would reach.

Here's a reminder of what the building used to look like, when it was supposed to be a "Grot-spot".
Couldn't they see that the signage was the only distinctive thing about the building?

It's not surprising I didn't notice it when I was there the other week.

I just noticed that the Aigburth Arms pub has changed its name to "Victoria". Anybody know why? It is in Victoria Road of course but I don't think that is sufficient reason :)

The Red Dwarf society (http://www.totalreddwarf.co.uk/aigburth_arms_trip.html) are going to be slightly annoyed

From Wiki:

An orphan, he was discovered as a very young infant on November 26, 2155, under a pool table in a Liverpool pub (the Aigburth Arms), nestled in a cardboard box with the mysterious word "ouroboros" scribbled on the side.

GingerTheCat, plenty of time to change the name of the pub back to the "Aigburth Arms" before November 26, 2155!!!! :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Cant believe this place has gone many a great drunken night out many years ago.
Not been in for a while.
Any reasons for its collapse ?? what had been demolished next to pub and what was being built

There was an MOT center next door thats been knocked down within the last couple of weeks, apartments are due to be built there.

Fairly sure the building next door wasn't attached to the pub though.

Aw man and I kept taking pics of that place but was too fussy to keep them!:PDT_Xtremez_42:

Hope they rebuild It.

Have Anyone heard of this place it was in Marsh Lane???

Hope they rebuild It.

Would imagine they will, judging from the pic in the echo, it's only the left section, the main structure looks to be intact, given it's listed I imagine they are working on making sure the rest stays up and the part that fell down will eventually be rebuilt.

Hi Bendo

I think you are correct, thank goodness. Thanks, Max for finding the following photograph by our very own Kev (ijob on Flickr) -- great photograph of the Lamb pub, Wavertree, Kev! :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

It looks from the entrance to the left hand portion of the building as if that used to be an old carriage house for the inn.

It's 2 mins walk from me and I'd happily sit in traffic all day if work was being done to avoid pulling down the entire thing, Wavertree High Street has lots of great old buildings and I'd miss them.

Oh and it was only a 2 min diversion on the way to work and it was cleared when I was coming home.

:)

Some of you may find this collection of pub photographs interesting.


Visit http://pubguide.fotopic.net


This is still in the early stages, but is something that myself and my two mates decided to put together a few months back. We had visited a few pubs around Merseyside and had taken a couple of photos when we decided that this was something we could build on. Of course, tomorrow's history is being made today! So we have been taking quite a few photos and have put them together on the net where others may enjoy them too.

We've got some older ones too which will be going on soon.

Please feel free to let me know what you think (as I say, it is early days) and if you would like to contribute any photographs then you'd be more than welcome. Of course, full credit will be given.

I'd love to hear from anyone with photographs of pubs that are no longer with us or anyone with photos of Higsons pubs.

This could prove to be an interesting collection in time to come and will act as a 'time capsule' that I, for one, would love to look back at a few years from now.

I'd like others to join in with this and expand this website to create a place for people to come and see our region's pubs both now and in times past.

Hen and Chickens, Melling.
I remember when i was an apprentice plasterer by boss used to go the garage opposite and buy a car every 2 years or so first in 1962 it was a Morris thousand traveler and in 64 an 1100, i think the owners emirgraterd in about 65. Happy days.

Just been past the 'Birkenhead House' (as it was always known) - The Newsham ( corner of Lower Breck rd & West Derby rd) - was surprise to see it is boarded up.
That pub was always so popular and busy in all the years I remember it.


It's becoming more noticable, more and more local pubs being closed down and boarded up.

It does make you wonder why the local boozers are losing popularity.

Is it, as we have already discussed, that people don't go out as much now because of the anti-socials ? or is it because of the no smoking rule?

I have a suspicion that it is linked to the smoking ban - especially in the more working class areas.

Aah, the Birk. I remember playing there with my band in the mid 1980's...

Lindy.

Pubs have been rapidly closing down for the last couple of years.
I think the no-smoking effect will really come into effect when the weather starts getting colder (probably next week!).

I disagree that it's the no smoking ban because as was said, pubs have been closing down for the last few years. I was in London Road on sat watching the match and then in the Liverpool, James st yesterday afternoon - all were chocker. I think the city centre will continue to thrive, particularly at weekends and especially with tourists (not just overseas) but locals tend to be closing down. Having taken quite a few pub photos lately, i'm not surprised though at some of them closing, you can get as many as 5 or 6 in one small area and surely they can't all be sustained, some have had a history of closing and re-opening (the green man, the crown (kirkdale rd), The Cunard - and many more change hands frequently.

Yes, I would think that the town pubs are still doing ok.

As for the local ones, do you think it's because people are buying cheap booze and drinking it at home ? I know loads of people who just don't bother going out anymore. They either have a drink in the house, or they wait until they are on holiday before they bother with bars.

Yes Lindy, I also know plenty who'd rather have you round to theirs for a few scoops with you repaying the compliment the week after. Even my daughters and their friends now have a sit off until heading into town for 11pm to midnight, what with that bladdy Sunrise serving til 6am (but they reckon they spend most of the time having a giggle and a dance)

I heard something on the radio about 'staying in' being the new going out!
ha, (for the younger ones I mean ) :)

It's now supposed to be cool to stay in. :)

I don't think the smoking ban will have a a major impact on pubs' takings in the long term. People will always want to go out. It may take a bit of getting used to, but I think after a while things will return pretty much to the way they were before.

It's bingo that is experiencing a major problem as players go outside for a cigarette during the intervals between sessions. It is during the interval that a bingo club will make money from parti games or table-top bingo. This has in the past accounted for somewhere in the region of 50% of a club's revenue. A hell of a lot to lose overnight.

Does anyone ahve any information about / photographs of The Jester. Was it a Tetley's pub?

On the hill at the junction of Scotland Road and Gt. Homer Street.

Hi posters
I've never been to Liverpool, but my grandad was born in Wavertree and his family lived around that area at the end of 19th century.
I plan to visit Wavertree this November and want to visit Smithdown Road, Toxteth Cemetery, Lark Lane, Holmes St., Holy Trinity Church, Christ Church, Bickerton St., Cantsfield St., Aigburth, Sefton Park, Greenhill Rd. and Allerton Rd. to take some photos and have a couple of pints in pubs where my ancestors probably did too.
However, from the photos I've seen here of the boarded up and burnt out pubs in that area, some of these places seem to be run down, rough areas these days.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't want to be mugged by hoodies whilst walking around like a tourist.
Any comments or suggestions from people who know these places would be appreciated.

YE CRACKE - RICE STREET - LIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE

I know Max posted a photo of this pub early this year, but I'd never actually seen the place until I went looking for it yesterday. I never went in, but it looks a "crackin'" little boozer.

Ye Cracke has to be one of Liverpool's best kept secrets.

I very rarely stay in a pub for more than 2 pints and love crawls round old traidtional pubs. Went down Vauxhall Road after a match recently, must have taken in 6 or 7 pubs and ended up in the Vauxhall Vaults on Vauxhall Road near Tithebarn St. About ten years ago I did a Scottie Road crawl, there nust have been 9 or 10 pubs then but sadly only 3 are left.

Hi steH,
I am trying to trace a great uncle fred Fitzgerald who had a pub called the "Liver" My dad said they lived near Scotland road. I met a woman who a few years ago and she said her late husband of 2 months had played in a pub they called Fitzer's could that be where they are now.
any ideas

All the Liverpool poets used it: McGough, etc. John Lennon used it a lot as it was near the art college. For years to the right was open ground - I think from a bombed building in WW2. I used it a lot, after playing football in the nearby Institute.

Hi lord edward
I know of a pub called the "Liver" but it`s on the corner of South Road in
Crosby, also a "Fitzies" on the corner of Latham Street and Commercial Road.
pubs were called by the people that ran them in the old days.

Are Pubs as we once knew them, one on nearly every street corner, becomming a thing of the past ??

Answers on a used beer mat please.

Sadly yes as the density of housing reduces and staying in becomes the new going out. There are some areas of the city though where the number of pubs is still healthy and very few close, County Road for example.

The first pub I regularly drank in was The Grapes, on Victoria Rd (st?), Aigburth - the continuation of Ashfield Rd.
First went there in 1967 and was a regular until it was knocked down about 2 years later. There was another pub next door called The Aigburth Arms. After the Grapes and the Arms were knocked down the current Aigburth Arms was built on the site.

Anybody remember it? The landlady was Mrs Lewis, who ran the place with her dad. Wally and Sheena took it over about a year before it closed. Regulars at the time were Billy & Peter Parkes, Alan Clegg, Mike Dean and Jimmy McHale.

Aigburth Arms has now been re-named The Victoria. Sad really.

Interesting pub. The only one in the St Michael's area of Liverpool.

Apart from Lark Lane, it was the only pub between the Dingle and Aigburth Vale.
In the old days, of course.

And the only one on Aigburth Road was the Aigburth Arms (site of the Kingsman, now Toby).

Anyone remeber Casey's Bar on Cases St - used to be just past The Globe?

Went in there a lot in the early 70's. The barman was Jimmy Robinson; very camp and absolutely gorgeous when dressed up as Shirley Bassey!
Quite a character.

Yes. There is a picture of it on my site below together with others of Cases street in general.

Does anyone have a picture of the Coffee House in Edge Hill? The actual building is still standing but has been turned in to a very nice house now - it is the one that stands next to the closed public toilets (mmmm!) and almost directly from St Mary's Church.
