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?Originally Posted by MarkA
The Dryden, only recently closed and where The Secret Millionaire was
The Botanic
The Rose
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.
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.
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

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.[IMG]

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.
