    Hi all

    Could anyone get a picture of the Saddle pub. I believe it is on Fountains Road, Liverpool 4. This is the pub where, in the first story told about the origins of the Maybrick Diary, Mike Barrett said that he had received the document from his drinking buddy, Tony Devereaux, a typesetter at the Echo. In that first story, his wife Anne and Mike himself claimed they knew nothing about the Diary before the handover in the pub.

    Anne, who now calls herself by her maiden name, Anne Graham, is now claiming she in fact gave the Diary to Tony to give to Mike, certainly a strange scenario, and the Diary had been in her family since 1950 or before. Although note that this claim does not make it old and nor does it make it authentic.

    The latest news is that Mr. Barrett is going to be at the upcoming May 2007 Maybrick Trial at the Liverpool Cricket Club in Aigburth and threatens to "to tell the full and truthful story of how he came into possession of the diary and how the pressure of the world's media affected his health. He is also prepared to answer questions from the audience" according to event organizer Chris Jones.

    All the best

    Will see what I can do, but I wonder if it will still be there or not seeing as Fountains Road has pretty much been obliterated by estates. But, I will try and have a look for you this week. If not, it will be next weekend!

    Hope that I can find it for you!

    All the best

    Hi Russ

    Many thanks, Russ. Actually since I wrote my query I did find a photograph on Liverpool Pictorial though wonder, as you do, whether it is still there and if it looks the same. See below.

    Default The Mount / The Sixie.

    South Hill Road / Dingle Mount.
    June 1992.

    I always meant to put this photo on toxteth.net, but could never find it, so I settled for a more distant view.
    It was always difficult to tell if the pub was open or not, and I used to walk the dog round that area most days.
    Like other parts of Liverpool, this pub was left standing while the neighbourhood was rebuilt, and I loved this block.
    But, unfortunately, it has now been demolished.
    And I never did go inside.

    What a shame, Philip, both that you weren't able to go inside and that the building has been demolished. From the architecture it looks as if it could have been an earlier nineteenth century building unlike some of the later Victorian pubs common in Toxteth and elsewhere in Liverpool.

    Here's a little history of the building (wot I wrote for toxteth.net).

    This pub was originally part of a small terrace of three houses, built some time after 1835, as a map of that date shows two other terraces on South Hill Road, nearer Park Road, with a much smaller building on the site of this pub. The terrace is shown as three houses on the 1847 OS map. Later in the 19th century the Dingle Mount corner was extended to become a public house. In the late 20th century it was one of the few remaining Victorian buildings in the area. It was demolished in 2002 (August?). The site is now grassed over with a Mosaic Cross inserted.
    Note the now demolished church of St Finbar to the right.

    I went there a few times. A permanent stay-behind.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?
