Sorry - knew him for years but no idea where he lived.

Sorry, I've just remembered, it was Diana Ross that lived in Entwhistle Heights.

I have heard about Shirley Bassey tho'

[Steven]

Wasn't Shirley from Tiger bay in Cardiff ?

[lindylou]

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 she was from Tiger bay. ha,ha, read this quote from Kevin.

I think I was introduced to the barman in question, I went in that pub during the 1970s but it's all in the mists of time now.


'Diana Ross' was well known and was a neighbour of my friend who lived in Entwhistle heights - think it was the 4th or 5th floor he lived. I was there one day when he popped in to borrow milk !

I think that barman was *Rosco*. He wore a mohair jumper and I think his first name was Steve. He could multitask !!!! Combined the abilities of males and females and could serve about half a dozen people at the same time.
He later went on to be a male nurse at Walton hospital.

Please correct me if I have got the wrong person.

Now demolished, with new flats on the site.

Different person - though it sounds like Jimmy's friend, Eugene.

The building to the left is part of the same block which had a youth club in it that I went to - around '65 or '66 I'd guess. Trying to remember the name and 'Noblet House' sounds about right.

Originally listed as a brewery at 183 Burlington Street in the 1840s, the building on the corner of Vauxhall Road two decades later was named the 'Victoria' Public house. By 1908 the premises had been renamed the 'Black Dog' public house and remained so until its closure around 1970.

Some time later, the original Burlington Street sign was removed and a new one placed further up the street on the same building and an advertisement hoarding was placed on the wall to cover an ornate sign which reads 'WALKERS WINE AND SPIRIT STORES' . The building is currently a William Hill bookmakers and has been for some time.

This week the advertisement hoarding was removed and though I've taken a photo of the revealed sign, it is proving too large to upload on here.

The Princes public house on the corner of Chapel st and New Quay. This was demolished to make way for the Mersey Tunnel docks branch exit. LRO.

Could somebody please confirm whether or not the Green Man in Vauxhall has been knocked down.

I have been under the impression that it had been demolished, but I've been told that the pub is still there.

The Green man has just been repainted in old corpy green (of course) and is under new management.
