What street was/is it on Cad?

What street was/is it on Cad?

Go up Wavertree Road, taskers on your left - straight on at the lights and before you get to the Bears Paw - between Taskers and Bears Paw Pub on the left there is a lovely reconditioned house on the left. It's on Wavertree Road before the road is joined up and goes in to Irvine Street towards the 'ozzy.

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

My goodness there's a few memories there.
The Dryden - used to get lock-ins in the afternoon. About 4.20 a big truck would pull up outside and sounds its horn.
All the corpy workers would pile out of the pub and climb in the truck - going back to clock off!

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.

I think I met him many moons ago. Did he live in Entwhistle heights ? (5th or 6th floor).

For Brother Cad.

Edge Hill Coffee House:

'Probably the oldest pub on the road when open, listed 1820s and located in the original village area of Edge Hill, trading when the vicinity was rural in the early 19th century.

Facing the premises is the church of St. Mary which opened in 1813 and was paid for by Edward Mason, from whom Mason Street gets its name. This photograph is from c1970 when the manager was Cyril Roberts and the adjoining shop was Austworth's tobacconist.

You've done me proud there lad! The building is there but it looks much smaller in real life than the photograph! Many thanks for this Ged!

No problem. I'm lucky enough to have acquired the 4 x pub on every corner before 2, maybe 3 of them went out of print so if they're in there and anyone else wants any posting up, just let me know.

I should have asked Freddie in the 1st place though as I've known him for years!

He, or Frankie would say 'Just see Ged' ;)

Sorry - knew him for years but no idea where he lived.

Sorry, I've just remembered, it was Diana Ross that lived in Entwhistle Heights.


I have heard about Shirley Bassey tho'

Wasn't Shirley from Tiger bay in Cardiff ?

yes she was from Tiger bay. ha,ha, read this quote from Kevin.

I think I was introduced to the barman in question, I went in that pub during the 1970s but it's all in the mists of time now.


'Diana Ross' was well known and was a neighbour of my friend who lived in Entwhistle heights - think it was the 4th or 5th floor he lived. I was there one day when he popped in to borrow milk ! :)

I think that barman was *Rosco*. He wore a mohair jumper and I think his first name was Steve. He could multitask !!!! Combined the abilities of males and females and could serve about half a dozen people at the same time.
He later went on to be a male nurse at Walton hospital.

Please correct me if I have got the wrong person.

Now demolished, with new flats on the site.

The building to the left is part of the same block which had a youth club in it that I went to - around '65 or '66 I'd guess. Trying to remember the name and 'Noblet House' sounds about right.

Originally listed as a brewery at 183 Burlington Street in the 1840s, the building on the corner of Vauxhall Road two decades later was named the 'Victoria' Public house. By 1908 the premises had been renamed the 'Black Dog' public house and remained so until its closure around 1970.

Some time later, the original Burlington Street sign was removed and a new one placed further up the street on the same building and an advertisement hoarding was placed on the wall to cover an ornate sign which reads 'WALKERS WINE AND SPIRIT STORES' . The building is currently a William Hill bookmakers and has been for some time.

This week the advertisement hoarding was removed and though I've taken a photo of the revealed sign, it is proving too large to upload on here.

The Princes public house on the corner of Chapel st and New Quay. This was demolished to make way for the Mersey Tunnel docks branch exit. LRO.

Could somebody please confirm whether or not the Green Man in Vauxhall has been knocked down.

I have been under the impression that it had been demolished, but I've been told that the pub is still there.

It was still there the end of October but not open, I'm sure it hasnt been demolished (yet)

Found this postcard of the Philharmonic pub.

The Green man has just been repainted in old corpy green (of course) and is under new management.

Apparently not there anymore-can anyone tell me any moreabout it-find a pic or just tell me if there is anyone who will remember it or can tell me if it was actually on the dock road in 1940's onwards??????????//

I can check it out later from pub books I have at home unless anyone can help out in the meantime.

thanks a lot ged if you just replied to me-that would be very helpful and i would realy appreciate it. cheers.:):)

what a beautiful pub... Reminds me of the Adelphi a bit inside... very nostalgic

Good news too many pubs ar shutting and not re-opening.

Shirleya. Sorry but could not find the pub in any of my books, not every single pub is covered in the 4 volumes of a pub on every corner unfortunately.

Hi all

Could anyone get a picture of the Saddle pub. I believe it is on Fountains Road, Liverpool 4. This is the pub where, in the first story told about the origins of the Maybrick Diary, Mike Barrett said that he had received the document from his drinking buddy, Tony Devereaux, a typesetter at the Echo. In that first story, his wife Anne and Mike himself claimed they knew nothing about the Diary before the handover in the pub.

Anne, who now calls herself by her maiden name, Anne Graham, is now claiming she in fact gave the Diary to Tony to give to Mike, certainly a strange scenario, and the Diary had been in her family since 1950 or before. Although note that this claim does not make it old and nor does it make it authentic.

The latest news is that Mr. Barrett is going to be at the upcoming May 2007 Maybrick Trial at the Liverpool Cricket Club in Aigburth and threatens to "to tell the full and truthful story of how he came into possession of the diary and how the pressure of the world's media affected his health. He is also prepared to answer questions from the audience" according to event organizer Chris Jones (http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=1328&page=7).

All the best

Chris

Has Barrett made up his mind whether the diary is a hoax or not? I think his behaviour has discredited the whole project.

Some great photos of Old pubs here. I remember the King George in the mid to late 80s when it was still going strong. It was a lovely building. Old buildings like this should be preserved and if nothing else, transformed into apartments. They are Victorian/Edwardian and we shall never see the likes of them again.

Thanks a lot for that tony and anyone else who tried to help with my pub question-most helpful and it was much appreciated.-thanks.

update on the Lamb in Picton, still no sign of any work still wraped in plastic.

Has anyone got a picture of the Vine Hotel at the corner of Falkner and Vine Streets. It was a Bents Brewery pub. I think it was knocked down in the mid 1970s. Gerry(2)

Hi Shirley Park Lane is still there its on the southern edge of the city centre in an industrial area, there are some former pubs along it so it may be still standing.

The corner of Dickenson Street/Park Lane is just a patch of grass. There are still several old warehouses South, around Jamacia Street/St. James's Street. (this is the continuation of Park Lane).
This site will give you some idea of what the area was like.
http://www.toxteth.net/maps/liverpool/lpool1a.htm
I don't remember seeing a pic of the block that contains No.95 Park Lane, but the blocks before and after appear in this book:
http://www.geocities.com/dingle_liverpool/A_Tram_Ride_To_Dingle_Index.html

This Toxteth pub on Mill Street is up for sale. Perhaps closure is on the cards.

Are the triton and the beehive still on paradise street after all the works or are they gone now

The Beehive is still there, then a couple of shops.
Everything else was demolished until you get to the Eagle, which remains.

triton was a bass house, 5 steps up to the front door, used to have a beer there after getting of the iom boat before jumping the bus home, the beehive was good for a few swift halfs on a saturday afternoon with my girlfriend as they had some nice comfy couches you could spread out on.

The Triton was on one of our weekend 'crawls' and was where we popped into on my wedding day (from the Moat House) in that in between period between the breakfast and the night time disco. Does anyone have any pics of it?

it was a good pub, only a few steps out of the hustle and bustle but a million miles away if you know what i mean.

Not Liverpool in particular, but the results of drinking too much - have fun:

Someone somewhere here was looking for the Mile End pub and the Everton Vaults, can't find the requests even via the search facility so i'll just pop em' on here until they're stumbled across.

Yes it does ! i just fancy a pint in there ! very nice pics, thank you ! :handclap:

tad off topic but i was working in london in 1988, and went for a boys night out in soho , we went in many bars clubs etc , but the best one was a bar that had a sign outside that read, ' we serve warm ale and lousy food", the place was chocker.

Anybody remember a pub on Boaler St run by the Murray family? After John (I think) Murray died it was run by his wife, Hilda. For a while she was helped by her son, also called John but known universally as 'Ginger'.
This would have been late 70's and early 80's.

There's only 2 on Boaler street these days, the Sir Walter Raleigh and Macs but there used to be another couple at Farnworth street end.

Thanks - neither sounds familiar

also slightly off topic but the pub ive been trying to get a pic of-the old curiosity vaults/old curio on park lane-well it was run by the bray family and one of the lads jimmy bray was a well known welter weight boxer in the area-does anyone remember that family or is everyone on here too young???? think he was same era as randolph turpin. thats prob. far too early for you all-but worth a try-maybe your grandads knew the family.????????

This is way off topic, too, but I took a photo of Randy Turpin's Bar (top of the Great Orme, Llandudno) in 1960!
They were about the only times I took photos of places when I was a child - on my holidays, that is.

To be honest i know nothing of randolph turpin-only that he would not fight jimmy bray-but maybe that was just paper talk. Ive been to the top of the great orme though-never knowing it was his place once-wow-thanks for that. Was randolph big in liverpool then???? I have an article cut out from one of the papers of the time-around 1943 where it was saying jimmy bray and his team were trying to arrange a fight between him and randolph but he kept backing out . Insinuating that he may have been afraid to fight jimmy-so i presume from that that randolph had a reputation ???????
sorry-gone off topic there-but it is kind of associated with pubs -kind of......

It's opposite Central Station in Cases Street.

Marky.
That card is rare.
It would have cost about £25 five years ago, which is about the amount of time I've not bothering buying more postcards.
In the 1960s I used to pay 6d each before Stanley Gibbons published the first postcard catalogue, which started people realising they were worth something.

went to Sudley House on Saturday and had a great day out, took a few snaps.

Nice pic Chippie. It's a good while since I went to Sudley.

Highland Home, Hill Street/Sefton Street: I've got a feeling this will be the next pub to go, as a demolition team is removing all the wood into a large skip. This is normally a prelude to demolition. If anyone wants to bag another Hill Street pub, then there is another former pub at the bottom of Hill Street...The Little Woodman. A pic of it is here:

Hi again
Just found out that the old curio in park lane was bombed in the war-and maybe a plane crashed into it so the story goes.???? And maybe a child living in the pub at the time was killed and others including the landlord james bray was injured. Apparently they repaired his leg with wood fibres that they were exprerimenting with in those days. And one of the sons-jack bray -appeared in the time magazine in america on page two with a pic saying have you seen this man-they were searching for him for being a communist apparently. Is there any way i could prove wether these tales were fact or rumour.??? Any advice or help would be most welcome.thankyou

It was still listed in the 1968 street directory, but it's been demolished since.

The Railway in Tithebarn Street is reopening in the next few weeks, there are adverts on the windows for bar and kitchen staff

Hi philg
The pub was rebuilt because they still had it in the 1950's-i dont know how much was damaged but i know they still ran it in the 1950's . Maybe the newspapers of the day will have something in-i guess the archives may know. Especially if its a plane crash. It sounds a bit far fetched but it is supposed to be true. thanks again for that info philip-did it say who had the pub then???
thanks.

Inside one of Liverpool's newest bars. Formerly a bank in Old Hall Street, after closure it became Brokers bar in the 1980s and more recently the Via Veneto restuarant and bar. Still under the ownership of local Highfield Gardens lad Steve Tierney, it has become the Cot'n Bar - right facing the cotton exchange which is now a registery office.

The Midland pub`s bar where I finished my photo expedition today before catching the train home

Excellent, I'm suprised our paths didn't cross, maybe they did :PDT11

Is that someone about to top themselves there?

no he,s counting his tips Ged, three buttons and a yen :)

If his flies are down there might be an extra tip in view.

great picture. Makes me keen on a trip to Liverpool.
And a good idea to make a photo-story about the pubs of Liverpool. :)

Is it a problem for a woman to go alone into the pub? And should I admit, that I'm from Germany? Or better not?

You tell them who you are if you want to, you shouldn,t be ashamed of your nationality. Lots of girls go into pub on their own nowadays, but you still might get some stares.

Chippie is right and is speaking from experience, he's a bloke (well except for weekends) and gets some stares.

Kev 3 days a week I travel around with my 4 year old grandson usually by
building sites he`s into J C B`s. I normally wear a floppy hat with a Berghaus
badge on if you see us you can approach us and claim your £1. But when he`s not with me I normally have a pint in the Midland befor I go home

You tell them who you are if you want to, you shouldn,t be ashamed of your nationality. Lots of girls go into pub on their own nowadays, but you still might get some stares.
well, I guess it's better to tell them, I haven't any German accent. I'll say it's a Swiss accent. And I'm a cross-dresser. Then I can drink my tea quite quiet.
Do they have tea in the pubs too? Because I don't like beer.

I once had the temerity to as for a Cointreau in "The Breeze" Pub which is located between Walton Flyover and Walton Hospital. The Barman said to me "Behave yourself, Love. This is Walton"!!!!

Well you could have asked for it 'In a dirty glass'.

I once asked for a wine & soda in the Netley pub on Walton Rd

the bar man said we don't have any because we don't get anyone posh in....but we do have this wine called the dogs bollocks........& it tasted like it too ( not that I'd know) :PDT10

I've had that (when I run out of tinnies one night), a bit like Thunderbird.

I would have thought you were more of a concord girl myself Mandy. Oops I think they've finished making that, Lambrini perhaps <with a brown bag wrapped around it>

There was another pub at the bottom of the street called The Coburg but
known to the locals as The Devil`s and one at the top of the street called The Bishop`s. Spent many a time in the Devil`s after fishing trips with my
brother as he kept his boat in the Coburg dock and that was the nearest pub.
We would even go there on saturday nights out,my brother travelling from
Norris Green and me from Kirkby.

Here you go Joe.

That's a brilliant picture Philip.
Really captures the spirit and the lovely architecture on the upper level which has now gone :(

Yes and the colourful detailing in the ornate arches above the windows/doors.

It's sad what they've done to The Angel, but I suppose the current owners are pleased with the way they've 'modernised' it.
Anybody know what it's going to be used for?

Philip, that's a cracking photo, thanks for sharing. It really is a shame to see the way pubs finish up, all we can do is be grateful it's not been knocked down.

The Coburg's still open and there were quite a few drinkers there on Wednesday. I took a photo but it's on my other computer - I'll add it tomorrow.

I walked back into town from Arnold Clark on Sefton Street past the Angel and Cains, really enjoyable walk... and the photos are surprisingly good considering there only done on a phone.

what road was the rose on?

On the corner of Binns road and that street mentioned on its wall I think, it's still there isn't it.

The Rose is still there and was open last time I was in that area in November. Its on the corner of Binns Road and Hankinson Street.

The Railway in Tithebarn Street is reopening in the next few weeks, there are adverts on the windows for bar and kitchen staff


Reopens tuesday lunchtime. Was due end of January but it didn't make it. My local is The Lion so may pop in to see what it's like by this coming weekend.

I remember being thrown out of the Tugboat onto Netherfield Road, I staggered around the corner and came in what I now believe to be the side entrance where the same barman confronted me so I slurred. 'Do you (hic) own all the friggin' pubs round here (hic)'

One of the lads i know works in The Lion on Moorfields. He had two irish lads in who could barely stand up at the bar and he refused them service. They walked through out through one internal door and in through another (if you know the layout of the Lion from back rooms to the public bar) and when he refused to serve them again, they said we've just been refused next door as well :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Is this the oldest pub in Liverpool as it says on the wall built in 1726 because
Rigby`s was also built in the same year?

The Rigby's date is contentious. This pub though is the only one with gravity fed pump beer - from upstairs of course.

Just consulted my CAMRA historic pub guide and there doesnt seem to be a clear cut answer. The buildings were built at the same time with Ye Hole in Ye Wall was a whisky merchants and Rigbys as offices and a hotel.

The Knowsley Pub, known locally as the Roundhouse or Roundy.

It is on the split of Stanley Road and Commercial Road in Kirkdale. This 1980s pic taken off a deteriorating slide of Joe Devines also shows Tillotsons cardboard box factory being demolished in the background and the old gantries that used to span the Liverpool/Leeds canal.

The city council have ANNOYED me well today.

I wanted to have a nose around town so rather than drive in, I thought I'd get the 79 in to town and have a nose along Wavertree Road rather than watching the traffic.

Now I know that the large snooker hall (mannicks?) had gone and indeed so had the Botanic - they didn't bother me that much, but there was one building which I took a fancy to. Never drank in it, but loved the large sign on the front and it just seemed a lovely little corner boozer.

And today - it's just been knocked down. No warning, no 'get your pictures before it goes' - gone like that. I'm talking about the Bridge Inn.

Is this the council's answer? Pull anything down that is boarded up to make the place look nicer? What'll go there now? Sod all because it's not prime land. So more of the bland wall will go there rather than a boarded up boozer which could have been turned in to a nice little shop.

I've only got a single picture of the pub from when I was in the car and snapped on the way past, anyone got a better one?? :disgust:

Forever in your debt for that picture lad. Looks even nicer than mine which is a slap in the face especially now that it's empty air :PDT11

Gibbs Mew was a brewery:

http://www.quaffale.org.uk/php/brewery/135

Bet that sign has either gone in someone's car or at the bottom of the skip.

Too lazy to google Gibs mew that's my problem, ta :PDT11

Mind you, I did have to get out of the car to photograph that.

I'm just annoyed at this council. Why are they flattening all and sundry just to make the place look better? Why not just level everything from the M62 to the City Centre and have done with?

That's it, I'm going to write off to the Echo on this one, it's got me annoyed.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/cadfael2008/Picture106.jpg

It looked like a decent enough building just to buy, do up and live in, never mind open as a pub, it's a pity. Not far to walk for your next local either, the Cambridge which you can just about see in your photie. That's if it's still open, wasn't it known as VJ's or something the last time?

Exactly squire. A lovely building which could have been turned in to a nice little detatched pad for someone. I'm sure there would have been a cellar system too. Pants.

A Walkers pub in Crosshall Street in 1895. It`s either not open yet or they
are all skint.

By the way I didn`t take this, honest, it`s from a loose leaf out of a book.

I didn't know they were that posh down my old way in those days, look at the lovely boots on that child.

It looks in pretty good shape to have been closed that long.

Aigburth Vale: Ye Olde House at Home and Traveller's Rest

On Page 81 of Freddy O'Connor's Pub on Every Corner Volume 2: South Liverpool, he talks about these 2 pubs. Does anyone know where they were exactly?

I used to go in the Olde House at Home in the early 60's , known locally as 'Clems', the landlord was a Mr. Clement Veale. Nice friendly pub but very small. Going up Aigburth Vale from Aigburth Rd. the Travellers was first and the Olde House just after both on the left. I believe they are now both private residences.

Where exactly where they do you know?

Around the corner from the Victoria pub, Victoria rd (you can see the backs of them from there in fact) - go down the little street that leads to Sefton Pk, I think there's a newsagents on it, then turn right and go along to the end near the flats.

I used to drink in the Bridge, as I worked just behind it. The top of the buildings behind can be seen. The Bridge was a typical old fashioned two roomed pub. Must be around 200 years old...and destroyed by digger in minutes.

although I'm not much of a drinker, I've always liked the look of that place. I like the old fashioned type pubs. Once went in one around Mount St in town. it was a small place, but full of character and served great scouse.

Although, I hate Edge Lane, I'm going to go there and take a pic of the Wellington Pub Sign, nice cartoon looking boot on the sign.


The Wellington closed down at the start of this year, I more or less used to live there for the past 12 years ( even worked behind the bar at one point for a few months), along with The Dryden on the opposite side also gone.
8 years ago there was The Travellers Rest and the Edge Lane now at the Old Swan end theres no pubs at all, from 5 to 0 in a few years ....**** shame.

Didnt the dryden re-open again for a short time last year?

Took these on the Dock Road the other day

Didnt the dryden re-open again for a short time last year?

Yes it re-opened but only for about 6 months, it's being knocked down to make a car parking area !! which was what was supposed to happen to the Travellers Rest 8 years on and its still a pile of bricks

The Glass House is actually not as bad inside as the outside suggests. The Non Pareil was a gem that is sadly gone, havent had chance to go in the refurbished Green Man but as its owned by the same feller who has the Eagle I'm sure it nice.

I know Joe, I pass it every weekend. It was the half way house (the Lynch's had it), then Dicky Lewis's then the new half way house but currently closed again.

I wonder how many halfway houses there are in Liverpool? For a couple of years I drank in the one in Woolton. Got banned in early 70's for having a hurdle race across tables in the large back room - the one that became the restaurant. Thought it a bit mean of the landlord but the fact that we were both nude might have had something to do with it.
:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Went back after two years as I heard that the manager who'd barred me had long since left. Went to the bar in the back room (not yet a restaurant) and queued for ages to get a drink. Increasingly frustrated as people the bar maid recognised, who arrived long after me, got served first - she was actually passing pints over my shoulder to people behind me. Eventually I let my frustration show and a guy came up behind me and asked me what the problem was - he was the new gaffer. I said something about the 'silly cow' behind the bar giving preferential treatment to customers arriving long after me.
His response was '...that silly cow is my wife'.

Back in the place for 15 minutes after two years absence and barred again!
:disgust:

PS Apart from the Miramar Club in Port of Spain, Trinidad. But this is the wrong type of forum for that story.

Scotch Piper Inn - Southport Road, Lydiate

Reportedly the oldest inn in Lancashire, photograph taken in March.

Been in there, it's tiny inside and the bogs are in a seperate block across the car park, well the gents is for sure. Bikers used to frequent the place, maybe still do. A great farm, cafe and craft shop a few hundred yards past it called Lydiate Farm.

Lovely picure Ross. Pity the cars are stuck in the way to spoil the view.

Must be 30 years since I've been in there. Beer used to be run off from a tap on the barrel, into a large white enamel jug. They'd then fill your glass from the jug. Is it still the same?

Great pics all.. Why are they demolishing all these lovely premises?

I don't know why so many pubs are closing down. Everywhere you go there are pubs boarded up.

Maybe the smoking ban? Are more people buying booze from the offies and drinking at home?

I'll have to get those two pubs above!

Is The Holt in Kensington going to be pulled down?? I see that the adjoining row is set to be cleared but the plans don't shed any light on the future of the pub!

The Wirral Globe had a story on this, the theory is that if a pub is able to remain competitive, they need to be more flexible than serve ale. Several pubs over this side have also closed with others feeling the strain.

Yes, I've just found out that it is to be flattened...

and we all know what the name means in Galic

I don't - :unibrow: what does it mean ??

Kiss my a$$e

The Halton Castle is a nice pub. Small rooms, but there's about 5.
It's laid out is a different way than most pubs.
I've been told it has a nice beer garden as well, but I've never seen it or been in there, just see people on the benches at the side of the car park.

Kiss my a$$e

well I never knew that ! lol !

A pub well worth a visit!

How long has it been called this? It used to be 'The Black Horse and Rainbow'- apparently after an ancient hostelry standing on the same site- and had its own brewery in the window. It was 'The Masonic' before that. Saw some great bands in there.

Irish pub in Seel St - Same pub in its Sunday best!

As The Masonic, I was in there fairly often when a mate ran it.
Never played pool in there as I knew what he got up to on the table when entertaining ladies - it was a lock-up with no accommodation upstairs.

Great pics GD. The Goat on Gt. Howard st just closed down last sunday, successive manageresses have struggled with that place since the industry in the area was taken away.

Not really a pub, more of a bar / nightspot.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i36/taxipix/DinosBarDeaneRdKensingtonDerelict07.jpg

This bar looks as though it has been derelict for a while.

DEANE RD, Kensington - Runs between Edge Ln. and Kensington opposite the Littlewoods building.

Does anyone have any information about this place, does anyone know when it closed?

Great thread, I only just noticed it, me eyes have gone scabby looking at all 37 pages.:unibrow:

Deanos, I'm pretty sure used to be the N.U.R. club that closed down in the mid 80's.

And that photographer that went round the town with the trilby on was Tony Rome (yeah like that was his real name). I've got a few photos of me and my mates from around 1970 taken by Tony.

Come on Scouse, get them posted up on 'the way we were thread' - no hiding place on here :)

Hi all

Could anyone get a picture of the Saddle pub. I believe it is on Fountains Road, Liverpool 4. This is the pub where, in the first story told about the origins of the Maybrick Diary, Mike Barrett said that he had received the document from his drinking buddy, Tony Devereaux, a typesetter at the Echo. In that first story, his wife Anne and Mike himself claimed they knew nothing about the Diary before the handover in the pub.

Anne, who now calls herself by her maiden name, Anne Graham, is now claiming she in fact gave the Diary to Tony to give to Mike, certainly a strange scenario, and the Diary had been in her family since 1950 or before. Although note that this claim does not make it old and nor does it make it authentic.

The latest news is that Mr. Barrett is going to be at the upcoming May 2007 Maybrick Trial at the Liverpool Cricket Club in Aigburth and threatens to "to tell the full and truthful story of how he came into possession of the diary and how the pressure of the world's media affected his health. He is also prepared to answer questions from the audience" according to event organizer Chris Jones (http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=1328&page=7).

All the best

Chris

Sad indeed, with the demise of the Bull there's nothing left on that road now till Bootle. The Edinburgh on Prescot Road Fairfield has shut down recently as well. This pic was taken in March, wonder how many instances there are in the city suburbs now of two pubs next door to each other still open.
