Quote "The Rising Sun on Green Street was owned by Mr & Mrs Mc and was in fact known locally as Mrs Mc's throughout the 1980s when pictured here. Portland Gardens tenement complex built in the 30s provided this and other pubs with a steady stream of patrons for a long time but alas the decreasing population saw a number of pubs close in the area, not least this one. Housing built in the mid 80s now occupies the site of the old tenements and even the pub is now a flats conversion.

Thanks Ged,
brings back happy times.
Jim Mcmanus was a great friend to my Dad and me. Indeed, we "inherited" his 2 Lpool Season Tickets.
Many an away match we would go to, but for me, a young rat of some 16/17 yrs it was coming back and touring the town pubs. like The Vernon, with Jim and meeting up with all his fellow publicans.
For home games we would finish up in O'Donohughes ('The Newsham' which later on was run by my sister and her husband)
Jim was often present at the Rising Sun but it was his sister in law, Cissie, who actualy ran it.
Mrs Mc ran the Oyster Bar in Cases Street.
