Question for you ale buffs: Which pub has a sign up outside saying our ale is out of this world - with some 'out of this world creatures painted on it'

I'll post it up next.

(I was taking a pic of the Hartley's Jam factory area big chimney to post on where is this located thread but a car sped past with a gang of nossers shouting kn0b head and I fell of my bollard.)

It's when your bollards start falling off your body that you've got to worry! :shock:

Ooooh suit you sir.

Anyway here it is. The Foresters in Longmoor Lane, Fazakerly.

Had a little drive down by the Heritage market today...

Took some pics along there....

I am not sure what this pub was, but have a look at the statue on top!
Any ideas what he is?
The pub leads onto Bankfield Street too.

John Williams AKA Mersey Mouth wrote a story about the Axeman.

Daisy, fantastic pub pics of one of my favourite parts of Liverpool.

I think it's the Hamlet Pub on Kirkdale Road/Boundary Street East, not to be confused with the one on Scottie:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Nice pic of the Atlantic pub.


Had some great nights in there. :PDT11

I have a vague memory of the tartan photographer Gerard, but my memory if failling on that one. I think I was always half shot when I got into there anyway, and I was always arguing with one of my mates about something or other:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Hi all
In relation to what buildings are standing today, does anyone know where the Merseybeat pub stood?
It is listed as 56 Park Street.

That wasn't you was it chippie rolling all over Paradise St after coming out the Triton bladdered..:eek: ..or was It me again !!..Lol.

Wotcha Daisychains, yep the 'Beat was in Park st. it was built late 60's, and was knocked down in the 80's due to subsidance. It was closed and knocked down in a week. It was my neighbors local, he went on holiday on the Saturday, came back and went for a pint, and walked past where it stood before he realised it was gone!!!:PDT_Aliboronz_24: It was nt a bad little ale house.

There's a doctors and a clinic on the site now:034:

A godlike looking pub!

I would of taken a pic when down there, but It was too shadowy.

The Dockers Club, Edinburgh park, Townsend lane.
The Canon. Townsend lane.

I wanted to go to the Canon after the game tonight but my mate couldnt be bothered walking down that far so we only got as far as the Elm House, where they only had Stones on which is awful. I think the Winchester is the best place on that stretch of Townsend Lane.

Carisbrooke and Stuart Hotel, both Walton off County road.

Some pubs of Stockbridge Village. I was up there yesterday.

Theirs a Barley Mow In Wavertree too.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...2401333&size=o

The Park, Walton Breck Road. Opposite the Kop End of LFC.

That pub always has too much shadow on It.:(

I noticed at the match last night that the FlatIrons doors are boarded up, shame.

Hi everyone, has anyone out there got any news or photos of The Queen Victoria, King Street Garston. Would love to see them. Does anyone remember The Walton Trades and Labour Club on Rice Lane, had many good nights there, especially when there was a Derby on.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

King Edward Pub, Roberts Street Hard to think that this pub is worth £3m! I used to think that this pub should be conserved, but looking at it now, It has no real merit about it and the land could be used for something like a nice tower block. Having said that, the location isn't exactly ideal. You have two major roads surrounding two sides of the site, and the nearest bus service is varibly in-frequent. Tricky one really!

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7451/imgp4650fn7.jpg
The Eldonian?, Vauxhall Road/Eldon St, Vauxhall Hard to think that this and many pubs alike were once the centre of the community. Just shows how things change over time ay? Actually, this pub still has most of it's fixtures and fittings left in it; I could see it all through the un-drawn window as I walked past!

EDIT: This pub is (or was) called "The Glass House" as seen on Page 2 of the "How Liverpool used to be" thread.

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8175/imgp4677rx6.jpg
Pub on Mere Lane/Heyworth Street, Everton I must confess that I have fogotten the title of this pub which stands in the shadow of Everton Library! But what a nice looking pub this is! All that mock-tudor detail looks great on this building and is something which would be greatly missed if anything were to happen to it.

The Granton Pub, Granton Street/Breckfield Road, Breckfield I bet there were many a laugh in here once! But I think that the bottom image sums up what devistation this part of the city has endured. Breckfield was once a thriving community with a real community spirit. Now, estates surround one side of Breckfield Road, whilst on t'other side, terraces are derelict and waiting to be pulled down. I think that Breckfield Regeneration need to look at themselves and think about what they are doing. I think that they are going about this in the wrong way. It isn't the terraces that need demolishing, it's the estates. True, the terraces need a bit of tidy-ing up, but demolision isn't the answer. They aren't doing this area any favours by demolising swathes of streets that are now derelict. If anything, they are putting Breckfield at a larger disadvantage.

On that note, I will get me coat!

I recall, there was uproar over that plot of land. Is that the one that backs onto toys r us??
Apparently the land was sold for uner 80,00 and there planning to build a tower like the Beetham.
Insider dealing was suspected, And why not!!??
Sh*t, I'd've bought it myself.
Its not what you know...

Like my post, that joke Is old.:PDT10

Plus It's well known on here I don't drink.:PDT11

I remember drinking in the King Eddy in 1970 when I was serving my apprenticeship for H.C.Wooliscrofts in Dutton Street just in the next street.
Trade was slow then, I think.

Not been passed that yet...is it a listed building at all? Someone should write to the Echo demanding an enquiry.

I want to write an email to Casa Del Cocodrilo and the Echo asking but still thinking on what to write.

enquiries@casadelcocodrilo.com Is the address to send to anyway If anyone wants to write too.

The Echo says It's a grade 2 listed building.

Things like this make me want to learn black magic.

[QUOTE=Max;56685]Rest In Piece Famous Elephant.[QUOTE]


It's almost certainly resting in pieces.

Black magic, Max?
You know the same firm have painted the Masonic in Lark Lane black.
I don't know how they get away with such things.
(Well I do! It's all down to money).

Yes, the Elephant is Listed, but English Heritage allow Liverpool City Council to grant applications which I suspect wouldn't happen elsewhere.
For instance, 6 telephone masts on the Listed ABC cinema in Lime Street.
