Pubs of Liverpool and Merseyside

[Ged]

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.

Are there any?

Or are you counting continuing up Crosby road south etc northwards.

if it's the proper dock road ie Regent Rd, then I'd have thought it was the one in Strand Rd...The Strand Rd hotel. think it has a different name now tho.

there's nowt on the left until you turn into Strand Rd

The first pub I can see on the left is across the Mersey (when standing on the bridge at Stanley Dock).

Derby Arms, Mill Street. This was tinned-up 17/6/09. It closed a couple of months ago.
The Parrot, Scotland Road. For Sale...Guide Price ?30,000+

The Dead House. It was built circa 1961, and was always dead. It was predicted to be closed and never was while all the rest, more full pubs, closed. I find that strange about pubs. The small pub that has a few dedicated regulars, and appears dead, just keeps going...until now.

The answer is the "Liver" at Crosby

Am I right in thinking that the Norris Green estate, was purposely built without a pub within it's boudaries.
The Royal Oak being the closest !

You're right mart.
The crown was a hotel,the peppers is a club and others where just social clubs.

And I think William Brown Street from 1900 onwards was the only main thoroughfare without a pub or shop on it.

My thought too which is why I asked if you were counting the continuation up Crosby Road South

Anyone got any old photos of pubs in Woolton ?

[hmtmaj]

Try this, it was posted on here and other forums a while ago.
It has loads of Old Woolton on it, along with other old pics of Liverpool.

Thanks Martin,

Started to look through it before...loads of good shots of Liverpool city centre, and yes found a few Woolton ones so far..

I wonder whose site it is, as it doesn't seem to say, but it is excellent.


Thanks for the info.

The Royal remains as a ruin, after making safe work was carried out.
The William Shakespeare was due to re-open last weekend.
The Pitch Pine has been sold by Punch, but will continue as a freehouse.

Two pics of the Royal, one showing the burnt out inside
The "Shakey" with new signs and unboarded last Friday
The "Pitchy"

The Old Roan on the corner of Copy Lane and Ormskirk Road. First licenced in 1620. In the 1800`s the manager built a smithy around the back with stables,the buildings are still there today.The base of the pub walls had rings set in for travellers to tie their horses to. Must have done good business as it was on a turnpike road
