The Royal on the corner of Bridgewater st and James St seen here in 1908 and then a few years ago when I photographed it and then just last month when Spike, Mart, Johnny Blue and myself took a little shifty around Liverpool.

Hi Jo,
I've got a photo of my great aunts (Mary and Rose McDaniel) by the bar in the Britannia, 13 Scotland Road. Mary was the landlady there in the 50s. Tried to upload the jpg to this post but I get a red exclamation mark symbol. Must be doing something wrong...

Thanks, Oudeis. That was quick! Not sure I'll manage the photobucket option. Managed to save the image to my Profile though - it's in my Album. The url is this:

Thanks, Lindylou. You're a genius! My great aunt Mary McDaniel (or Mary Kate as she was known) is the lady on the left. She was the landlady of the Britannia (13 Scotland Road) between 1950 and 1960. Her sister, Rose, standing next to her, was a psychiatric nurse (later social worker) by day but would sometimes help behind the bar in the evening - often dealing with the same clientele I gather. My mum said that she has a photo of the exterior of the Britannia somewhere. If I can find it I'll upload it here - or at least I'll try...
The Belgrave on Bryanston Road is all boarded up. I expect it has been closed since the shooting. I've only just noticed though.

the belgrave closed after a fatal shooting in the area some time ago, i remember this hotel in the early sixties when it was a really nice place to go to, to visit friends and relatives, sit in comfort and enjoy the evening. what happened ? the students arrived from the local campus, they commandeered the place with their halves of lager and would sit there all night spending nothing and taking up seats, in other words a real pain. since then unfortunately the pub has had a lot of bad times with more than unsavoury customers in attendance and then finally closed after the shooting down there. i agree with mike68 this pub is best it has ever been now that the shutters are up . sad. but fact"
