The Lisbon, yeah. Feel most comfortable there, although I'll always have a soft spot for the Pilgrim...
I'm with you there -The Dispensary, Dr Duncans, the one in Allerton Road, I love all the Cains pubs. Its a strange coincidence that both the Dispensary and Brewery Tap were both called the Grapes in a previous life.Quote:

Anfield pubs.
The Cabbage Hall.
The Willow Bank ( used to be known as 'Ma Pate's' in the old days)
and the Clubmoor (or the Titch as the locals know it). :)
The Flat Iron . Junction of Walton Breck rd, Anfield rd. (LFC in the distance)
I went in the Willowbank after one of the Arsenal games, its been done up really nice inside now.Quote:

In South Liverpool, so many have been closed down, and quite a few demolished recently.
I'll take a few more when I'm on my travels. I take the dog for long walks.
One thing Anfield has got is loads of pubs ! .. too many I suppose ! :)
The Dryden, Edge Lane
The Royston Arms, Royston Street
Just had a look but to no avail. I am sure I took more images of that area when I went! Oh Well.Quote:

Is the Royston one In Edge Lane Area too?Quote:

The Lamb, Willowbank and Railway Inn in Wavertree have new pub signs up.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
A few pubs from the Vauxhall area of our great city (all images taken on 19FEB07)...

The Crown Vaults, Kirkdale Road This pub got a new roof and new windows a year or so ago but nothing has happened yet on the ground floor. I don't know if we are going to see a grand opening or not of this pub but it's good to see it in beteer shape than it previously was. Just out of interest, wasn't there a 60's midrise office block to the right where those 1990's apartments are now? I remember something like a grey 60's block being here when I was small.

Top of Scottie Wasn't this a pub up untill a few years ago? I can't for the life of me remember what it's name was which is bad seeing as I've been past it goodness knows how many times in the past! Hopefully, the building firm will keep this rather grand building in good sahpe. That stone detailing can't be cheap to replace!

Site of The Hamlet, Scottie This was pulled down a few months ago sadly after a period of dereliction. Another pub along Scottie Road has bitten the dust.

The Cunard, Stanley Road This pub is still open for business; it's shut here because this image was taken 0954! I think even by my standards, 10:00 is a little early!
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/362...0219109vv7.jpg
The Stanley Bar, Stanley Road/Gt Mersey Street The pub sign here is actually tiled which is unuseral. This does however show how confident the original owners were seeing as they thought their pub would always be called "The Stanley Bar". Again, it looks as if some work has been done on the building but it is debateable as to wheather a Pint will be served there in the future. I think this image is repeated on many other street corners across the city. The pub was once the centre of the community (apart from the churches) but when those communities got swept away or forced out, the pub population started to deplete. Scottie is a good example of this as it has gone from having "a pub on every corner" to a handfull.

The Prince of Wales, Stanley Road This is truely a gem of a building! Just look at all that detailing around and between the windows. The brick and the stine have aged gracefully to produce a building which adds so much character to this part of the city. You don't get such quality any where else and is something which I miss when I am away from Liverpool. People don't appreciate what they have got any more. I say, look up from the pavement and appreciate your surroundings. You never know when you might not see things like this again!

The Prince of Wales, Stanley Road I love this building so much, here's a close up. I think that it might need a little bit of repair work but on the whole, it's a good building.
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/816...0219140hg2.jpg
The Easby, Easby Street One for Max here, this pub sign has been recycled as doubt that this building has been dserving fine ales since 1762! Beneath the paint (when viewing the orginal) I could pcik put that it was a ale company who orginally made the sign but the owners of "The Easby" painted over it all an made a cheap pub sign. This is now defunct and boarded up.

The Saddle Inn, Fountains Road/Sessions Road An updated view of the Saddle for Chris George. It's an interesting building when you get down and look at it as the taller part looks aolder than the red brick lower floors which appear to have been added on at a later date. It you notice, the taller part of the building is a light brown brick where as the facarde is red pressed brick. This could possibly date the older part of the building to date from before the industrialisation of Vauxhall/Kirkdale took hold in the 1850's onward. So it is likely that the brown brick building would have stood in isolation next to a little lane linking Everton Village to Kirkdale or something like that. Now, the building is more or less back to standing in a isolated position with no buildings around it.

The Kendal, Westminister Road Finally, a nice round building which stands on the corner of Fountains Road and Westminister Road and is just a little bit up from the Saddle Inn.
Hope you enjoyed these images, they will be up on Flickr soon, there are 68 more images like this which all need descriptions writing for them!
Great pics, I drive past those pubs most days, shame to see so many out of use now. I've never seen that Cunard open, does it just open at evenings? It was shut about 2pm today although I have seen people come and go from it who I assume live above.
Great Pics Wallasey..The one you dont know the name of was also Called The Hamlet..
That was the Hamlet, the other now demolished was the Hamlet Hotel. One of them was shut down by police 3 years ago due to it being an epicentr eof gangland violence.Quote:

Your not wrong there, there must be one a fortnight closing now in the city. As recently as 1995 I remember going on a crawl from Anfield to town starting off in the Valley and we had about ten pints. Now we'd only manage 3.Quote:

When just starting out on the ale trail at aged about 17 and knocking around the Birkett Street tenements/four squares area, we would start out at the Soho Arms, head along Greaty to The Lamplighter and the 7 Stars then perhaps take in the New York and Old Campfield before heading down to the Tugboat which was a great little walk and night and I think only the Old Campfield is the only one of those trading just now.
Wallasey you are a legend. Thank you so much for the pic. my computer has been off so only just found it.Quote:

Your welcome; it wasn't a diversion really seeing as it was on the way home!
it will be interesting to see if these pubs are here in a few years time after Peel have done their work. Wirral MBC might dual Tower Road but I would imagine that this would go straight up to Charing Cross. Well, that's what I would do anyway.

The Belvedere, Sugnall Street off Falkner Street.
smashin old boozer is the hole in the wall in a little street off Dale St.
Too many old fashioned pubs have been demolished. The city is becoming too full with these horrible trendy cattlemarkets full of dance music. For a start you can't have a conversation in them.
