YE CRACKE - RICE STREET - LIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE
I know Max posted a photo of this pub early this year, but I'd never actually seen the place until I went looking for it yesterday. I never went in, but it looks a "crackin'" little boozer.
Ye Cracke has to be one of Liverpool's best kept secrets.

nice plce, ive had many a beer in the cracke, and in the pilgrim a minutes walk away.
Does anyone have any pics of Wilsons Bar, Wood Street ?
All the Liverpool poets used it: McGough, etc. John Lennon used it a lot as it was near the art college. For years to the right was open ground - I think from a bombed building in WW2. I used it a lot, after playing football in the nearby Institute.Quote:

pubs were called by the people that ran them in the old days.
gregs dad
Are Pubs as we once knew them, one on nearly every street corner, becomming a thing of the past ??
Answers on a used beer mat please.

Sadly yes as the density of housing reduces and staying in becomes the new going out. There are some areas of the city though where the number of pubs is still healthy and very few close, County Road for example.Quote:

Nice on Mark:)
The first pub I regularly drank in was The Grapes, on Victoria Rd (st?), Aigburth - the continuation of Ashfield Rd.
First went there in 1967 and was a regular until it was knocked down about 2 years later. There was another pub next door called The Aigburth Arms. After the Grapes and the Arms were knocked down the current Aigburth Arms was built on the site.
Anybody remember it? The landlady was Mrs Lewis, who ran the place with her dad. Wally and Sheena took it over about a year before it closed. Regulars at the time were Billy & Peter Parkes, Alan Clegg, Mike Dean and Jimmy McHale.
Aigburth Arms has now been re-named The Victoria. Sad really.Quote:

Apart from Lark Lane, it was the only pub between the Dingle and Aigburth Vale.Quote:

Anyone remeber Casey's Bar on Cases St - used to be just past The Globe?
Went in there a lot in the early 70's. The barman was Jimmy Robinson; very camp and absolutely gorgeous when dressed up as Shirley Bassey!
Quite a character.
Yes. There is a picture of it on my site below together with others of Cases street in general.
Does anyone have a picture of the Coffee House in Edge Hill? The actual building is still standing but has been turned in to a very nice house now - it is the one that stands next to the closed public toilets (mmmm!) and almost directly from St Mary's Church.
What street was/is it on Cad?
Go up Wavertree Road, taskers on your left - straight on at the lights and before you get to the Bears Paw - between Taskers and Bears Paw Pub on the left there is a lovely reconditioned house on the left. It's on Wavertree Road before the road is joined up and goes in to Irvine Street towards the 'ozzy.Quote:

All the corpy workers would pile out of the pub and climb in the truck - going back to clock off!
I think I met him many moons ago. Did he live in Entwhistle heights ? (5th or 6th floor).Quote:

Facing the premises is the church of St. Mary which opened in 1813 and was paid for by Edward Mason, from whom Mason Street gets its name. This photograph is from c1970 when the manager was Cyril Roberts and the adjoining shop was Austworth's tobacconist.

Sorry - knew him for years but no idea where he lived.Quote:

He, or Frankie would say 'Just see Ged' ;)
Sorry, I've just remembered, it was Diana Ross that lived in Entwhistle Heights.Quote:

'Diana Ross' was well known and was a neighbour of my friend who lived in Entwhistle heights - think it was the 4th or 5th floor he lived. I was there one day when he popped in to borrow milk ! :)
I think that barman was *Rosco*. He wore a mohair jumper and I think his first name was Steve. He could multitask !!!! Combined the abilities of males and females and could serve about half a dozen people at the same time.
He later went on to be a male nurse at Walton hospital.
Please correct me if I have got the wrong person.
Now demolished, with new flats on the site.

Different person - though it sounds like Jimmy's friend, Eugene.Quote:

Some time later, the original Burlington Street sign was removed and a new one placed further up the street on the same building and an advertisement hoarding was placed on the wall to cover an ornate sign which reads 'WALKERS WINE AND SPIRIT STORES' . The building is currently a William Hill bookmakers and has been for some time.
This week the advertisement hoarding was removed and though I've taken a photo of the revealed sign, it is proving too large to upload on here.
The Princes public house on the corner of Chapel st and New Quay. This was demolished to make way for the Mersey Tunnel docks branch exit. LRO.
