I'm not surprised.
I could usually see dim lights inside, and it always seemed to have a "For Sale" sign.
BTW, the South Hill, the next nearest pub before Park Road, has just been demolished.

Great little pub this, has a certain charm
Ye Olde House at Home and The Travellers Rest, Aigburth Vale. It's quite rare to find two pubs together nowadays. These have recently been refurbished and are now private dwellings, looking similar to the surrounding houses.
Hi Steve
Many thanks for confirming that the Saddle Inn, Fountains Road, Anfield, is still there.
I misspoke earlier when I said the original handover of the Maybrick Diary between Tony Devereux and Mike Barrett took place there. The two of them did know each other from drinking together at the Saddle but that is not how the story of Mike's acquisition of the Diary was originally told.
Checking Shirley Harrison's 1993 Hyperion edition of The Diary of Jack the Ripper, p. 4, she says that it was after Devereux fractured his hip "around Christmas 1991" and Mike would call round to do shopping and other chores for Tony, that the handover took place:
"One day, a few months later, when he arrived at Tony's house there was a parcel wrapped in brown paper on the table.
"'Take it. I want you to have it. Do something with it,' was all Tony said."
The rest, as they say, is history.

Love all the pub pics posted here:PDT_Piratz_26:
The Beehive is a cracking pub. It's a bit like the Tardis. It looks like a small pub on the outside, until you walk in. It also stretches back a bit and has a restaurant in the rear. Good, honest people drink there too. Sebo and I had a pint and a meal there last year. I was halfway through my meal when I realised I left my camera 20 minutes before in the Bar area. I ran back there in a panic and the camera was gone. By this time, I was bricking it! "Are you looking for a camera, luv?" came a voice from behind the bar. One of the customers handed it in to the staff. I couldn't thank the person enough who handed it in:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Thanks for the picture of the Swan, Dave, and the others, of course.
Happy memories.
I used to belong to the Merseyside Postcard Club, and we had our monthly meetings there for a few years.
(That was when there was a chippy over the road in Seymour Street).
After which we met at the YMCA, and finally at the Bluecoat Chambers.
Here's an updated pic of 'The Saddle Inn' Fountains rd. (Dec 2006).
A selection...

Broadgreen Road, Old Swan This scene is so much improved since those tenements went! I wonder how old this pub really is; Apparently, it was started when the turnpike between Liverpool and Warrington and Manchester was built (now the A57). This was a popular stop off for Stagecoaches which probabbly secured trade at the bar and has done ever since, but in another form of a Stagecoach!

Prescot Road, Old Swan And opposite the Old Swan pub, is the Red House which is evidently a little newer than the previous establishment.

Edge Lane Drive, Broadgreen The Gardners Arms is at the bottom of Broadgreen Road and is around the point where the old Broadgreen Village used to be. Most of that was swept away when the area became heavily suburbanised with the arrival of Queens Drive and Edge Lane Drive.
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. ???

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?
