Pubs of Liverpool and Merseyside

The Melbourne and Wellington pubs, Green Lane Old Swan.

YE CRACKE - RICE STREET - LIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE

I know Max posted a photo of this pub early this year, but I'd never actually seen the place until I went looking for it yesterday. I never went in, but it looks a "crackin'" little boozer.

Ye Cracke has to be one of Liverpool's best kept secrets.

I very rarely stay in a pub for more than 2 pints and love crawls round old traidtional pubs. Went down Vauxhall Road after a match recently, must have taken in 6 or 7 pubs and ended up in the Vauxhall Vaults on Vauxhall Road near Tithebarn St. About ten years ago I did a Scottie Road crawl, there nust have been 9 or 10 pubs then but sadly only 3 are left.

Hi steH,
I am trying to trace a great uncle fred Fitzgerald who had a pub called the "Liver" My dad said they lived near Scotland road. I met a woman who a few years ago and she said her late husband of 2 months had played in a pub they called Fitzer's could that be where they are now.
any ideas

All the Liverpool poets used it: McGough, etc. John Lennon used it a lot as it was near the art college. For years to the right was open ground - I think from a bombed building in WW2. I used it a lot, after playing football in the nearby Institute.

Hi lord edward
I know of a pub called the "Liver" but it`s on the corner of South Road in
Crosby, also a "Fitzies" on the corner of Latham Street and Commercial Road.
pubs were called by the people that ran them in the old days.

Sadly yes as the density of housing reduces and staying in becomes the new going out. There are some areas of the city though where the number of pubs is still healthy and very few close, County Road for example.

The first pub I regularly drank in was The Grapes, on Victoria Rd (st?), Aigburth - the continuation of Ashfield Rd.
First went there in 1967 and was a regular until it was knocked down about 2 years later. There was another pub next door called The Aigburth Arms. After the Grapes and the Arms were knocked down the current Aigburth Arms was built on the site.

Anybody remember it? The landlady was Mrs Lewis, who ran the place with her dad. Wally and Sheena took it over about a year before it closed. Regulars at the time were Billy & Peter Parkes, Alan Clegg, Mike Dean and Jimmy McHale.

Aigburth Arms has now been re-named The Victoria. Sad really.
