in the 60's my dad ran the Raven Hotel (Higsons) on Exmouth St, and i heard the nick name then, it was because at the week end the place was awash with blood from all the fighting.Quote:

I know nothing of the area, so i dont know the Raven Hotel sorry, I assume it is close to the Dock Hotel. If i get the ferry over, is it easy to find? I believe it is near to the tunnel entrance?
I wonder if anyone is still around who remembers my family running the pub?
The disused tunnel entrance. There were two, now only one.Quote:

What road was the Raven on?? Must say it doesn't ring a bell.
Gnomie...I'll ask around, I think one of my mates parents comes from around the Dock Cottages and Oak/Eldon Heights.

Went past the Dock today on the 409...the pub is still open.

The pub is still standing and was definitely open in the last couple of months, though I have been told it has recently closed down.
There is also The New Dock in the north end of Birkenhead...

This pub is now closed.
The New Dock is now The Ex Dock - came down in the last few days - now a pile of rubble
Not the Dock Hotel I hope ?Quote:
