Those 'three birds' are the only three pubs left in Scottie Road now.

Where's that one mate? I've noticed some activity around the Crown Vaults lately which strictly speaking is on Kirkdale Rd, they've reboarded the doors and I've seen people in the upper floors.

No Ged..Got one of the Old stools instead,That Stools seen a Few good old Gerard Gardens Barnies I can tell yer !!!..This really is an amazing piece of DIY Kit so Im told..The Mrs says She would be lost without this stool when She's painting the Ceilings.

Tut tut, letting the Mrs paint the ceiling whilst you no doubt are directing matters from the couch with the remote in one hand and a can of lager in the other

I like it....

Ron Formby's been trying to get the old bank on Scottie turned into a local history centre. If you check out his website there's a wealth of local talent such as ex pro footballers who will donate their medals for show instead of keeping them in a cabinet at home. There's loads of history in that area, St Martin's cottages the first municipal housing in Europe, Victoria Square which won an architectural advanced design award and the Eldon Street clinker flats, the first prefabricated housing ever,pioneered by John Alexander Brodie. Then there's the Eldon Grove model from the Museum of Liverpool life (on loan) and my tenements model. He's now proposing the Pontack since that has fallen into disuse.

I remember there was a plan to try and get some minibus tours going of the areas heritage, I really hope that's still on the table and can become a success.
