That almost brings a tear to your eye. How grand that would look on the corner all done up - now with that and the Bridge Inn gone, wait till they knock down the Picton Clock too :rolleyes:Quote:

^ That's them...in the first pic (the building by the new sign, and the building to the right by the blue car).
Re: Bridge Inn. The doorway was still there, today.
Had a good nose around the rubble today of the Bridge Inn Hotel. Couldn't spot anything worth 'borrowing' so as the rule goes - take only pictures.
The Gibbs Mew sign has long gone but at least the Hotel brick sign is still there..for now?

Hi Cadfael
Great pics. that pic with the skip has another old Picton Rd pub in the background. trying to remember the name...the Leigh Arms comes to mind.
Ooh come on brain work....
just dug my Wavertree book out...it was the Leigh Arms
Sirob. That un-named pub on Everton valley is the Derby Arms with the Lyric theatre behind it.Quote:

Anybody else who knows, please answer.
I used to drink in the Bridge, as I worked just behind it. The top of the buildings behind can be seen. The Bridge was a typical old fashioned two roomed pub. Must be around 200 years old...and destroyed by digger in minutes.Quote:
