Pubs of Liverpool and Merseyside

The Halton Castle is a nice pub. Small rooms, but there's about 5.
It's laid out is a different way than most pubs.
I've been told it has a nice beer garden as well, but I've never seen it or been in there, just see people on the benches at the side of the car park.

The Metropolitan in Berry St

How long has it been called this? It used to be 'The Black Horse and Rainbow'- apparently after an ancient hostelry standing on the same site- and had its own brewery in the window. It was 'The Masonic' before that. Saw some great bands in there.

Irish pub in Seel St - Same pub in its Sunday best!

As The Masonic, I was in there fairly often when a mate ran it.
Never played pool in there as I knew what he got up to on the table when entertaining ladies - it was a lock-up with no accommodation upstairs.

The "snug" was empty in the Midland Hotel opposite Central Station when I called in for my "medicine" this week,so I took a couple of pics

[gregs dad]

What more could you want a pint for under £2, 60`s music and old Liverpool pics to look at inthe Midland in the snug before your journey home

[gregs dad]

Notice the price of the meals 2 for £6/75 cheaper then the chippy

Great pics GD. The Goat on Gt. Howard st just closed down last sunday, successive manageresses have struggled with that place since the industry in the area was taken away.

Not really a pub, more of a bar / nightspot.



This bar looks as though it has been derelict for a while.

DEANE RD, Kensington - Runs between Edge Ln. and Kensington opposite the Littlewoods building.

Does anyone have any information about this place, does anyone know when it closed?

Great thread, I only just noticed it, me eyes have gone scabby looking at all 37 pages.

Deanos, I'm pretty sure used to be the N.U.R. club that closed down in the mid 80's.

And that photographer that went round the town with the trilby on was Tony Rome (yeah like that was his real name). I've got a few photos of me and my mates from around 1970 taken by Tony.

Come on Scouse, get them posted up on 'the way we were thread' - no hiding place on here

Hi all

Could anyone get a picture of the Saddle pub. I believe it is on Fountains Road, Liverpool 4. This is the pub where, in the first story told about the origins of the Maybrick Diary, Mike Barrett said that he had received the document from his drinking buddy, Tony Devereaux, a typesetter at the Echo. In that first story, his wife Anne and Mike himself claimed they knew nothing about the Diary before the handover in the pub.

Anne, who now calls herself by her maiden name, Anne Graham, is now claiming she in fact gave the Diary to Tony to give to Mike, certainly a strange scenario, and the Diary had been in her family since 1950 or before. Although note that this claim does not make it old and nor does it make it authentic.

The latest news is that Mr. Barrett is going to be at the upcoming May 2007 Maybrick Trial at the Liverpool Cricket Club in Aigburth and threatens to "to tell the full and truthful story of how he came into possession of the diary and how the pressure of the world's media affected his health. He is also prepared to answer questions from the audience" according to event organizer Chris Jones.

All the best

Chris

Sad indeed, with the demise of the Bull there's nothing left on that road now till Bootle. The Edinburgh on Prescot Road Fairfield has shut down recently as well. This pic was taken in March, wonder how many instances there are in the city suburbs now of two pubs next door to each other still open.
