The Old swan is alleged to date from the late 1700s, notice the bricked up window which was supposedly done to avoid paying too much tax when it used to be based on how many windows were in a property.

great pics everyone:)
This used to be The Allerton...I guess a name change didn't help it. This must have been tinned-up very recently.
Has the parkway just closed!
I was only in there in November!:shock:
The Bears Paw Pub in Edge Hill - this has an archway in the cellar which runs across to the Williamson Tunnels in Paddington across the road!
Pics from 2004 and around the 1800's!

Was this the Falkland?
heres some old buildings we stumbled across today
pretty certain they were pubs, any more info would be great!
For future reference.
If you can give the names of the 2 streets that the corner ones are on, or approximate address for the others, I've got a 1936 Street Directory.
In the meantime:
1. Yes, a pub. Park Lane.
2 & 3. Yes, a pub. The Eagle, Paradise Street.
4 & 5. ???

have checked on toxteth.net
no 4 is at the corner of greenland st and flint st
it used to be a wine and spirit vault so i wasnt far off :)
no 5 is on park lane opposite the swedish church
loving all this!!!!
merry christmas everybody!!

Hi Bunf.
1 was The Royal.
Here's how it looked in June 1992.
4 was the Greenland Arms.
5.
If it's exactly opposite the Swedish Church, and on the corner of Greetham Street, it is listed in 1936 as being occupied by Guinness, Brewers.
Even so, I don't think it was actually run as a pub - probably just their offices in Liverpool.
Does anybody know if Guinness was brewed (or even bottled) in Liverpool?
