Max, if today is the day for correcting people, shouldn't it be King John, not St John? :PDT_Piratz_26:Quote:

I like that Lodge pic Scouser Dave's posted though!:PDT_Piratz_26:
Because it'll have to fit in with their new image (the Dovedale became Alma de Santiago)Quote:

A lady who lives in Mason Street (opposite the Elephant) says the head went into a skip! :shock:Quote:

They own Dovedale Towers too but the Dovedale Towers Writing Is still on the building.
Hopefully it went initially into a skip and is being kept for putting up again. It would seem to me that since Alma de Cuba and Alma de Santiago have some exotic decor, I should think the new establishment at the Elephant would also. Thus the elephant head would fit right in. So I should think it would be in their interests to restore it and replace it... if it hasn't been destroyed.Quote:

I used to live in Woolton and Gateacre and I'm sure the Elephant was only refurbished in the last 18 months.
Hope they don't do anything too grotesque to it as it could be a nice boozer to have an afternoon in.

The Elephant used to be a nice pub with real ale on tap too, then the previous owners got rid of the ale and catered for the younger market. That took me to the White Horse and I've never looked back :PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:

A friend of mine is moving out of Gateacre village in a few weeks and we were going to go for a wander into all the decent pubs in the area.
Don't think it'll be worth it now.

I'll second that sir! But don't go on a Friday night - standing room only :PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:
