    I remember Pat Molloy very well. I also remember his wife, but I can't recall her name. I worked in Clare's from 1972 until 1977 and we'd go for a drink in Pat's most Friday nights. A Tetley pub. Pat must have been in his late 40s/early 50s black hair but going bald. Always smartly dressed and a friendly man.

    Thanks, Kev.

    Dick Jennings (Mill Street?) pops up on Flickr quite a lot, and that seems to be the official name.
    Must admit I don't know what its original name was.

    I'm sure there was a pub near Birkenhead docks called The Burning Stump.
    So called because the manager had a wooden leg and used to poke the fire with it!

    It was on the Wallasey side, don't know if it is still there it has changed so much. If you went from Birkenhead over the four bridges and turned left it was on the right.

    Ha, yes. it changed to Bonkers in the eighties. It has been set on fire since. It looks like it's waiting to be knocked down now.

    I knew a fella called Red, and he had grey hair. Turns out he used to have fiery red hair. Odd.
