    Default The Spirit Vaults, 110 Gt Howard St L3

    Hi folks not sure if anyone can help me with this? But any info would be helpful, This pub was ran by my relies back in the 1800's, from around 1850 to 1871 I last found it on the 1891 census still listed as a pub but with a different family at the helm. Can anyone tell me anything about its history or perhaps someone may have an old pic of the pub. This site was a great find and you all seem such nice people, hope to visit often.

    Hiya marymint. I have a list of the pubs that existed on that side of the road which will have been the stretch from Leeds Street to Sherwood Street. Do you know which street it was on the corner of (if any)

    There was a WSV - Wine and spirit vaults on the corner of Maddrell Street (formerly Slate St) in the 1800s which became the British Queen Vaults later on.
    In 1908 the manager was James Hamilton.

    Could this be the one as the only others seem to be the Trafalgar Arms (formerly the Freemasons Arms pre 1800s) - this was on the corner of Upper William St.

    Nearer town was Dodd Vaults on the corner of Sprainger Street named after the manager Thomas Dodd. In the 1980s it became O'Gorman's bar. This actually was also a SV pre 1870s. A photo of this is on my site below.

    Hiya Ged, thanks for the quick reply. I can give you some more info which I got from the census. Here goes in 1861 my man Hugh Ryan was listed as the publican at 110 Gt Howard Street "Spirit Vaults". This is the first entry on the page and a big family living there. The next on the page is what looks like Sprainger St and Whitley Street. On the 1871 census it begins with 108 Gt Howard St, then 110 Gt Howard St a William Connolly being the publican now married to Hugh Ryans neice Rose. The adresses below are what looks like Gt Howard Court? and then Princes Walk?. 1881 has William Connolly as the publican again top of the page is 108 Gt Howard St, then 110 the address of William followed by Gt Howard Court no 2 and then princes walk again. From the A - Z it looks like it is the somewhere between Howards Court? and Sprainger St, what do you think? I suppose it also depends on which way the enumerator ( the census counting guy ) decided to walk!!
    Hope this is of some help to you. Thanks again for your time on this one.

    Ah right. Just had a look in my 1908 Edwardian A-Z/Street directory and Dodds Vaults was No.80 so forget that.

    110 (not listed - sods law) would have been on the block from Whitley st to Upper William Street.

    108 on the corner of Gt Howard st and Princes Walk was M. McCarthy - Chandler and on the opposite corner, No.112 was Nabb & Co. Bakers and flour dealers.

    Incidentally the Tam O'Shanter public house was at No.96 and the Shamrock Vaults at No.140(not listed in Freddy O'Connors pub on every corner book)

    Sorry but that little investigation has drawn a blank.

    Ah never mind, thanks ever so much for looking it up for me. Perhaps if you notice the name in the future anywhere you would let me know. Thanks again

The corner local is becoming a relic of the past.
    Couldnt agree more!

    At one point, you could start at the Hillside Pub on Liverpool Road Huyton, near the border with Prescot, then have a bit of a crawl all the way down to the Greyhound and Knotty Ash. In between you would find The Bluebell, The Oak Tree, The Eagle & Child and The Farmers Arms.
    All rough pubs, but all demolished. Only the Oak Tree stands between Prescot and The Greyhound.

    If I started walking from the Pierhead on the dock road northwards, which would be the first pub on the LEFT HAND side I would see ?.
    I was asked this today.
