The Liverpool facing Ford Cemetery entrance has now been demolished. Another big pub gone. The Hen & Chickens in Melling just on the outskirts of Kirkby - closed down - that one was a shock. Still some big ones boarded up such as The Coronation on Aintree Road and The Cabbage Hall. The Coronation in Childwall was demolished last year too.
The Plough, Rice Lane, Walton has been tinned up for a while, but was sold prior to its auction date in April. For what?
Just sorting through some of my old photo albums and came across this postcard! probably one I got on one of the trips back home. Pubs are as I remember them , especially the 'Philly' very handy for me as I worked at the Radium Institute on the opposite corner of Hope Street! and one still remaining I believe.

Just realised today,in spite of this being my nearest pub, I haven`t got this on my pub set of pics
Looks vaguely familiar...did this have a different name,at one time?
No it` s always been the Windmill, it hasn`t always had the same colour scheme. The manager is an Evertonian I believe
I think it is quite fitting for a pub to look like your local GPs surgery. I hope there is less of a wait though. :)Quote:

It was once a Sykes (Scotts)bakery shop, the hoist doors is where the flour went in,hence the name.
There were many bakery shops like this in Liverpool.The hoist doors are still there in some places

The Swan in Garston,posted this before but this is a better pic
Thanks for the pics Joe! I remember them both very well! Lived in Highbank Drive in the early 50s. The 'Pally' was my nearest pub. and my wife's aunt lived in Wood St.!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:Cheers.
The Plough on Rice Lane, the big one by the old zoo entrance and Dunlops is now tinned up.
Noticed some work on the "Dominion" is being done!There was live music being played from somewhere inside,so possibly it's being converted into a rehearsal studio? I also noticed that someone has a nice new pair of green pants!:unibrow:
Being the nearest pub to Canada Dock, it was always the hang-out for Harrison Line staff. Had many an extended lunch time in there when working-by on ships.Quote:

joined the Thursday League at the bottom...won every division from bottom to top at the first attempt.. then jibbed it...
same as the Dingle Monday...one season in it ... wont it by over 20 points... jibbed it...too easy...
The Pontack pool team ?... stuff of legend....
Professional snooker players coming in on the hustle.. going home with their arse smacked and no money...
Whos' the daddy..? ..... ha haaaaaa..
.
Ha ha - great stuff, you showed em' eh?
The Eureka up here was an eating house then a lad from Kirkby got it and put a pool table in, it had a pool table for 1 year only, we joined the league and won at a canter then he left and it went back to an eating house. Must be a record of some kind ha ha. One of our lads ended up winning the West Lancs individuals too, some of the other teams players were no slouchers by any means as most were snooker players saying pool is easy. They got their come uppance though.

apparently they hated our team and found some daft excuse to take the league off us..
I packed in after that,,,,I haven't played for years now or picked a cue up for years ,
give me an hour on my own knocking balls about and I'd give anyone a game...
give me a few days and I'd be back to my England International.. Mereseyside and North West champ several times best..
I qualified for the England national team..I never turned up..so I never actually played
...I was captain of Merseyside though..and Merseyside champ....whooped John Parrott 6-0 in a little exhibition game we put on for the Camden St snooker hall lads....
I was JP's practise mate at the Golden Leisure on Johns table...Table 3...
..practise partner..?...take the balls out of the bag man more like...he was buzzing then and nobody got a look in.....JP won the Junior pot Black....I bought that cue of him that he used to win that tournament...
Great stuff :PDT11[COLOR="Silver"]

Hi I'm new to this site and my family originate from liverpool.. I just wondered if anyone remembered a pub called The Spiral Staircase, My Great Uncle and Great Aunt ran this after the war....anyone??
I cannot find any pics of it on Google or any info on it either..that's how I stumbled across this site. I suppose it doesnt exsist anymore. Any help would be great.
Thanks guys
Ged is the best guy to ask about pubs!:nod: Have a look at his site, www.inacityliving.piczo.comQuote:

hi, thanks for taking the time to respond but the link does not work :-(
Thanks for the website mention Steve. Try this cazzi www.inacityliving.piczo.com but I can tell you now that the Spiral Staircase is not on it. I used to drink in the one in Old Hall Street which may be a modern one on the site of an older one as it was in a 1960s block of shops by the post office I used to go to with the works mail.

Cheers Kevin. Yes you do look a bit like a copper but I don't suppose they tell such crude jokes. Poultry shed indeed.
yes I think that is the place on Old Hall Street. My Uncle was called Geoff Hill...does that ring a bell?
Afraid not Cazzi as I was going there quite some time after your Great Aunt and Uncle had it I think. I assume by 'after the war' you mean they had it in the late 40s or 50s?
