The Botanic is almost demolished (just a small section of wall is left).
I can't believe the price of this postcard on E-bay of the Botanic:

It would have cost about £25 five years ago, which is about the amount of time I've not bothering buying more postcards.
In the 1960s I used to pay 6d each before Stanley Gibbons published the first postcard catalogue, which started people realising they were worth something.
went to Sudley House on Saturday and had a great day out, took a few snaps.
Nice pic Chippie. It's a good while since I went to Sudley.

I like that 3rd photo Chippie, the one of you looking in the mirror.
Good to see you with your clothes on, Chippie! :PDT11
Has Sudley become a pub now? :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
I,m flabbergasted, my flab has never been so gasted Philip and Gedrick!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Highland Home, Hill Street/Sefton Street: I've got a feeling this will be the next pub to go, as a demolition team is removing all the wood into a large skip. This is normally a prelude to demolition. If anyone wants to bag another Hill Street pub, then there is another former pub at the bottom of Hill Street...The Little Woodman. A pic of it is here:

Had a pint in here today Ged will say which one it is.
Is that Sudley House?Quote:

Apparently they repaired his leg with wood fibres that they were exprerimenting with in those days. And one of the sons-jack bray -appeared in the time magazine in america on page two with a pic saying have you seen this man-they were searching for him for being a communist apparently. Is there any way i could prove wether these tales were fact or rumour.??? Any advice or help would be most welcome.thankyou
It was still listed in the 1968 street directory, but it's been demolished since.Quote:

Hi philg
The pub was rebuilt because they still had it in the 1950's-i dont know how much was damaged but i know they still ran it in the 1950's . Maybe the newspapers of the day will have something in-i guess the archives may know. Especially if its a plane crash. It sounds a bit far fetched but it is supposed to be true. thanks again for that info philip-did it say who had the pub then???
thanks.

It just says: "Curiosity Vaults" P.H.Quote:

Inside one of Liverpool's newest bars. Formerly a bank in Old Hall Street, after closure it became Brokers bar in the 1980s and more recently the Via Veneto restuarant and bar. Still under the ownership of local Highfield Gardens lad Steve Tierney, it has become the Cot'n Bar - right facing the cotton exchange which is now a registery office.

The Midland pub`s bar where I finished my photo expedition today before catching the train home
Excellent, I'm suprised our paths didn't cross, maybe they did :PDT11
Is that someone about to top themselves there?
no he,s counting his tips Ged, three buttons and a yen :)
If his flies are down there might be an extra tip in view.
great picture. Makes me keen on a trip to Liverpool.
And a good idea to make a photo-story about the pubs of Liverpool. :)
Is it a problem for a woman to go alone into the pub? And should I admit, that I'm from Germany? Or better not?
You tell them who you are if you want to, you shouldn,t be ashamed of your nationality. Lots of girls go into pub on their own nowadays, but you still might get some stares.
Chippie is right and is speaking from experience, he's a bloke (well except for weekends) and gets some stares.

well, I guess it's better to tell them, I haven't any German accent. I'll say it's a Swiss accent. And I'm a cross-dresser. Then I can drink my tea quite quiet.Quote:

Well you could have asked for it 'In a dirty glass'.
I once asked for a wine & soda in the Netley pub on Walton Rd
the bar man said we don't have any because we don't get anyone posh in....but we do have this wine called the dogs bollocks........& it tasted like it too ( not that I'd know) :PDT10
I've had that (when I run out of tinnies one night), a bit like Thunderbird.
I would have thought you were more of a concord girl myself Mandy. Oops I think they've finished making that, Lambrini perhaps <with a brown bag wrapped around it>
why are you putting soda in wine ? thats like putting beer in washing up liquid to make it shandy flavoured.................... sorry mate I live in a wine producing town good wine don't need no additivesQuote:
