Could somebody please confirm whether or not the Green Man in Vauxhall has been knocked down.
I have been under the impression that it had been demolished, but I've been told that the pub is still there.

The 1938 directory has the Curiosity Vaults at 95 Park Lane, landlord Charles Kennedy.Quote:

Has Barrett made up his mind whether the diary is a hoax or not? I think his behaviour has discredited the whole project.Quote:

Thanks a lot for that tony and anyone else who tried to help with my pub question-most helpful and it was much appreciated.-thanks.
update on the Lamb in Picton, still no sign of any work still wraped in plastic.

Has anyone got a picture of the Vine Hotel at the corner of Falkner and Vine Streets. It was a Bents Brewery pub. I think it was knocked down in the mid 1970s. Gerry(2)
Hi everyone
Now i have the address of the pub ive been searching for -can you amazing people tell me anything else at all??/ What area is park lane in??? Does park lane still exist and is there a bulding still standing where 95 park lane was/is???? I am sorry to sound dumb but i have no idea -not been to liverpool that many times-but i intend to alter that this year as i am sure its going to be an exciting place to be and i hope it has a brilliant city of culture year. In fact im going to watch it on tv now. I just love ringo starr's new single . Enjoy yourselves you lucky things!!!!!!!!:)
Hi Shirley Park Lane is still there its on the southern edge of the city centre in an industrial area, there are some former pubs along it so it may be still standing.Quote:

This site will give you some idea of what the area was like.

I don't remember seeing a pic of the block that contains No.95 Park Lane, but the blocks before and after appear in this book:

This Toxteth pub on Mill Street is up for sale. Perhaps closure is on the cards.
Thank you, Marky.Quote:

It looks a lot more upmarket than it used to do, they must be doing well, they've got 3 satellite dishesQuote:

Are the triton and the beehive still on paradise street after all the works or are they gone now
The Beehive is still there, then a couple of shops.
Everything else was demolished until you get to the Eagle, which remains.
triton was a bass house, 5 steps up to the front door, used to have a beer there after getting of the iom boat before jumping the bus home, the beehive was good for a few swift halfs on a saturday afternoon with my girlfriend as they had some nice comfy couches you could spread out on.
The Triton was on one of our weekend 'crawls' and was where we popped into on my wedding day (from the Moat House) in that in between period between the breakfast and the night time disco. Does anyone have any pics of it?
it was a good pub, only a few steps out of the hustle and bustle but a million miles away if you know what i mean.Quote:

Someone somewhere here was looking for the Mile End pub and the Everton Vaults, can't find the requests even via the search facility so i'll just pop em' on here until they're stumbled across.
From Freddy O'Connor's 'A pub on every corner' vol 4.
Coopers looks like a nice warm get away.. Nice pics... :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Anybody remember a pub on Boaler St run by the Murray family? After John (I think) Murray died it was run by his wife, Hilda. For a while she was helped by her son, also called John but known universally as 'Ginger'.
This would have been late 70's and early 80's.
There's only 2 on Boaler street these days, the Sir Walter Raleigh and Macs but there used to be another couple at Farnworth street end.

This is way off topic, too, but I took a photo of Randy Turpin's Bar (top of the Great Orme, Llandudno) in 1960!Quote:

To be honest i know nothing of randolph turpin-only that he would not fight jimmy bray-but maybe that was just paper talk. Ive been to the top of the great orme though-never knowing it was his place once-wow-thanks for that. Was randolph big in liverpool then???? I have an article cut out from one of the papers of the time-around 1943 where it was saying jimmy bray and his team were trying to arrange a fight between him and randolph but he kept backing out . Insinuating that he may have been afraid to fight jimmy-so i presume from that that randolph had a reputation ???????
sorry-gone off topic there-but it is kind of associated with pubs -kind of......
