Highland Home, Hill Street/Sefton Street: I've got a feeling this will be the next pub to go, as a demolition team is removing all the wood into a large skip. This is normally a prelude to demolition. If anyone wants to bag another Hill Street pub, then there is another former pub at the bottom of Hill Street...The Little Woodman. A pic of it is here:

Had a pint in here today Ged will say which one it is.

old curio park lane and bombs in the war.
Hi again
Just found out that the old curio in park lane was bombed in the war-and maybe a plane crashed into it so the story goes.???? And maybe a child living in the pub at the time was killed and others including the landlord james bray was injured. Apparently they repaired his leg with wood fibres that they were exprerimenting with in those days. And one of the sons-jack bray -appeared in the time magazine in america on page two with a pic saying have you seen this man-they were searching for him for being a communist apparently. Is there any way i could prove wether these tales were fact or rumour.??? Any advice or help would be most welcome.thankyou
It was still listed in the 1968 street directory, but it's been demolished since.
The Railway in Tithebarn Street is reopening in the next few weeks, there are adverts on the windows for bar and kitchen staff
old curio park lane
Hi philg
The pub was rebuilt because they still had it in the 1950's-i dont know how much was damaged but i know they still ran it in the 1950's . Maybe the newspapers of the day will have something in-i guess the archives may know. Especially if its a plane crash. It sounds a bit far fetched but it is supposed to be true. thanks again for that info philip-did it say who had the pub then???
thanks.

It just says: "Curiosity Vaults" P.H.
It was 95 Park Lane, on the corner of Dickenson Street.

Inside one of Liverpool's newest bars. Formerly a bank in Old Hall Street, after closure it became Brokers bar in the 1980s and more recently the Via Veneto restuarant and bar. Still under the ownership of local Highfield Gardens lad Steve Tierney, it has become the Cot'n Bar - right facing the cotton exchange which is now a registery office.
