Apart from Lark Lane, it was the only pub between the Dingle and Aigburth Vale.Originally Posted by taffy
In the old days, of course.
And the only one on Aigburth Road was the Aigburth Arms (site of the Kingsman, now Toby).

Anyone remeber Casey's Bar on Cases St - used to be just past The Globe?
Went in there a lot in the early 70's. The barman was Jimmy Robinson; very camp and absolutely gorgeous when dressed up as Shirley Bassey!
Quite a character.
Yes. There is a picture of it on my site below together with others of Cases street in general.
Does anyone have a picture of the Coffee House in Edge Hill? The actual building is still standing but has been turned in to a very nice house now - it is the one that stands next to the closed public toilets (mmmm!) and almost directly from St Mary's Church.
What street was/is it on Cad?
Go up Wavertree Road, taskers on your left - straight on at the lights and before you get to the Bears Paw - between Taskers and Bears Paw Pub on the left there is a lovely reconditioned house on the left. It's on Wavertree Road before the road is joined up and goes in to Irvine Street towards the 'ozzy.
My goodness there's a few memories there.
The Dryden - used to get lock-ins in the afternoon. About 4.20 a big truck would pull up outside and sounds its horn.
All the corpy workers would pile out of the pub and climb in the truck - going back to clock off!
I think I met him many moons ago. Did he live in Entwhistle heights ? (5th or 6th floor).
For Brother Cad.
Edge Hill Coffee House:
'Probably the oldest pub on the road when open, listed 1820s and located in the original village area of Edge Hill, trading when the vicinity was rural in the early 19th century.
Facing the premises is the church of St. Mary which opened in 1813 and was paid for by Edward Mason, from whom Mason Street gets its name. This photograph is from c1970 when the manager was Cyril Roberts and the adjoining shop was Austworth's tobacconist.

Sorry - knew him for years but no idea where he lived.
You've done me proud there lad! The building is there but it looks much smaller in real life than the photograph! Many thanks for this Ged!
No problem. I'm lucky enough to have acquired the 4 x pub on every corner before 2, maybe 3 of them went out of print so if they're in there and anyone else wants any posting up, just let me know.
I should have asked Freddie in the 1st place though as I've known him for years!
He, or Frankie would say 'Just see Ged'
