KIRKBY was mainly farmland until the mid 20th century, it
being 1935 before the East Lancs road provided road access. It housed an
industrial estate including a wartime Royal Ordinance factory but it was not
until 1949 that it was designated a 'newtown' with a district council being
created in 1957. Large scale housing developments following, continuing in
phases into the 1970s housing blitz and slum clearance affected families
including those from Scotland Road removed to accommodate the building of the
Kingsway Mersey road tunnel. In 1974, boundary changes saw it become absorbed
into the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley. Kirkby's four sub districts are

Street is Cuffs.
More Beatles connections. Dovedale Towers on Penny Lane is
now the Alma Di Santiago but as St. Barnabas church hall in the late 1950s and
early 1960s it hosted the Beatles on stage. The Ark bar on Smithdown Place is
next door to Tony Slavin's barbers shop but again, under a previous ownership
it was once the barber of a young John Lennon whose songwriting partner, a
certain Mr. Paul McCartney immortalised this place and the roundabout in the
next picture in the song 'Penny Lane'. The roundabout which served as a tram
and then bus terminus included public conveniences which have seen been
converted to the Sgt Peppers bistro and so keeping the Beatles connection.
Penny Lane wine bar is at the roundabout end of this long
road. The Penny Lane signs are painted on the walls now due to memorabilia
hunters having pinched the original and replacement signs. Mustard Bar and The
Tavern Company are at the Penny Lane end of Smithdown Road, The latter having
featured in episodes of Brookside.
The Matlock which stood on Smithdown Lane. The Albany was at
100 Smithdown Road. Fogherty's is on Blenheim Road just off Smithy.
The Grosvenor, impressive as it is, is tucked away on the
junction of Grosvenor Road and Bishopgate Street. The Spekeland is based on
Tunnel Road not far from Edge Hill Railway station. The Vine Inn can be found
on Smithdown Road on the corner of Gresford Avenue.
The Black Angus is in the middle of a housing estate called
Baron's Hey in Stockbridge Village. The Bow & Arrow is on the junction of
Princess Drive and Mab Lane. Further down Mab Lane, out on a limb a little is
the Fur and Feather.
The Halton Castle - Mill Lane, West Derby. The Royal
Standard and The Crown Inn directly facing each other are on Leyfield Road. The
Crown, rebuilt in 1935, replacing the original, played the part of the
ficticious Swan in Brookside.
The New Broadway, New Hall Lane. The Green Pepper Club on
Parthenon Drive and Sweeney's on Grant Road off Pilch Lane.
The Bulldog on the corner of Yew Tree Lane. The Toby Carvery
is on the Stoneycroft stretch of Queens Drive and The Royal Arms is on the corner
of Tunnel Road and Wavertree Road.
The Mosley Arms still stands on the corner of the much
changed Mill Street and abolished Mosley Street. The Lothian looms large on
North Hill Street and The Queens Head is on the corner of Park Road.
Six of the best with thanks to Philip Mayer, author of 'A
tram ride to Dingle'. All taken in the 1990s, The Farmers Arms on Park Road and
the Star Hotel on Warwick Street which can also be seen three years later in
1995, renamed the Three Bells. The Jolly was built on Melville Street in the
late 1970s, lasting only two decades before demolition. Secrets/Clouds
(formerly Allisons) was an old cinema on the corner of Church Road in
Litherland, new apartments now stand here. The Premier, too was a converted
cinema, based on Prescot Road, Old Swan.
Three more thanks to contributors, to whom I thank. Marky
supplies a pic of the Crows Nest aka Clanceys which was on Mill St in the
Dingle. Ken Brays photo of the Bishop on Beaufort Street and the Grapes, ex
Windsor Street from Paul Christian.
Phase 2/Lennon's was situated in the old Burtons building on
the corner of London Road and Commutation Row in the 1980s. Also seen here are
closer views of the Hare & Hounds and Court house on the row as well as The
Wellington on St. Anne Street, all seen on the previous page.
The Orient in Speke is at No.1 Eastern Avenue on its
junction with East Millwood Road. The Mill House, formerly the Flying Saucer is
on Alderwood Avenue off Eastern Ave. Allerton Hall, situated in Clarke Gardens
on Springwood Avenue is now the pub in the park.
The Hunts Cross Hotel is part of the shopping centre on
Hillfoot Avenue, just around the corner from Hunts Cross railway station. At
the station itself is the appropriately named Waiting Room, seen here from its
Gable on Speke Road and the rear which extends down to the track.
Dales Country Club on Okell Drive carries the datestone 1983
when much of the surrounding estate was built. Mackets Lane which includes the
former home of Beatle George extends from Hunts Cross into Woolton. At this end
is the English Rose set in 1930s surroundings. The Grenadier, an offering from
3 decades later is situated on Camberley Drive which is off Mackets Lane.
The Eagle & Child, Church Road, Halewood. The Derby Arms
on the corner of Church Road and Baileys Lane, Halewood. The Leather Bottle,
Leathers Lane off Higher Road.
The Art Deco Parkway, formerly The Allerton on Woolton Road,
built in the same style as many of the 1930s pubs and one of the few to carry a
self portrait on its sign. The Masonic, yes another one, is tucked away on the
corner of Gladstone Road in Garston.
The Storrsdale, on the road of the same name is tucked off the beaten track behind Mossley Hill Station. The Blue Angel on Seel Street, together with the nearby Jacaranda on Slater Street was once owned by the Beatles first manager, Allan Williams who of course had them perform there. Vinci, is a wine bar on the busy Allerton Road.
Orrys, Rice Lane is in a former bank building. The Prince of
Wales and Chucky's Sports Bar also both on Rice Lane are rarities in that they
are in the centre of a block instead of the usual corner.
The Breeze can be found at 66 Lancaster Street on its
junction with Breeze Lane. The Anfield Hotel is not in Anfield but actually a
stones throw from Goodison on Birchfield Road off Walton Village. First Base on
Townsend Lane's junction with Canon Road, opposite the Canon, suffered a fire.
The Hollow was at 102 Mill Street when captured by Marky. The
Windsor Hotel could be found on Beaumont Street and was photographed by Phil
Wieland. The View, so named because of its elevated position on Everton Road.
Listed in local directories as The Cockwell Inn, Mmm, I
wonder who thought of that one? Now closed, it is on the corner of Lower Breck
Road and Townsend Lane. A little further up Lower Breck and built as a new
frontage onto the Cabbage Hall cinema is The liverpool Supporters Club. A fine
building housing the Claremont is on the same Road.
What's left of the Norsman, including a manic viking
graffitied namesign. Situated on Bankfield Street on the next block to the
Dominion, it was popular with dockers, ships crews (mainly Phillipinos) and
ladies of the night before its demise. The Bootle Irish National club is still
going strong on Derby Road and Bootle Central Fire Station on Strand Road
became the aptly named 'Flames' nightclub during the 1980s.
Grey skies over The Old Manor House on Edge Lane just prior
to a torrential downpour on Sunday 2nd Dec 07. A little further along is the
impressive Devonshire House Hotel complete with function rooms. The Railway is
tucked away on Binns Road facing Crawford Way. The Street once ran
uninterrupted from Mill Lane down to the rear of the Littlewoods building but
is now cut in two because of the Edge Lane retail park.
Dino's Bar - closed for business on Deane Road. Ann Downies
is still very much trading though on the corner of Prescot Road and Elm Vale.
The Liver Vaults can be found on the East side of Gilead Street.
The Kensington is on the North side just past Farnworth
Street. The owners of the Victoria on West Derby Road and Uni's Bar on the
corner of Lawrence Road might even have shared a tin of red gloss paint.
The Mount, Galsworthy Avenue and across the railway line on
Harris Drive to Orrell Road is The Walnut Tree. Also shown here is the Park
Hotel, Dunnings Bridge Road, Netherton.
Marti's Sports Bar is at the end of a row of shops on
Glovers Lane, Netherton.
Heysham Road, amongst an industrial area is the next port of call. The building which once contained Fallows II is now partly a childrens play area but part of it is also taken up by Thomas Valentino's bar and function room. Orry's 2nd establishment in the Walton district can be found on County Road.

ROCK AT THE ALBERT DOCK
Jesse Hartley's magnificent fire proof warehousing system which surrounds the Albert Dock is the largest group of Grade I listed buildings outside London. Refurbished in the aftermath of the Toxteth riots of 1981, it now houses a number of watering holes of a different kind.
Baby Cream with its VIP lounge attracts some celebs whilst Blue and Circo are nearby. LaVazza cafe bar and Breton bistro bar also compliment this area.
The main pic shows what is probably regarded as the Albert
Dock's flagship pub and longest trading in the area, The Pumphouse Inn, which
is the cleverly converted Pumphouse for the dock. Ha Ha and the Pan Am are also
shown from the front and rear.
The Spice Lounge as seen from Salthouse Quay and the main
courtyard. The Vinea Wine bar is in the Brittania Pavilion on the same complex.
Sherlocks on the dock road could be seen on page one as the
Convivial Hotel. The next pic is a close up on its Crest of the city of
Liverpool and in its current guise as Bar Coast.
Blundell Street, not surprisingly is in Blundell Street
itself, in fact pretty much in the middle of nowhere off Jamaica Street in a
converted 1916 warehouse. The Millfield Inn and Keith's wine and food bar are
both in Lark Lane.
Off Childwall Valley Road in the Netherley/Belle Vale area.
At No.2 Tuffins Corner was the Turtle, also known locally as the Turmoil and
hitler's bunker due to the lack of windows. It is now desolate, remote and
behind locked gates. On Lee Park Avenue/Woodlee Road is the Lee Park. The Cat's
whiskers can be found on Hartsbourne Avenue off Chislehurst Avenue.
I've heard of being as 'drunk as a skunk' but this one's the 'Cat's Whiskers'. A close-up of the sign from the pub seen previously. The Elephant sign still swings proudly in Woolton despite a name change to the Casa Di Cocodrilo. The ornate mosaic floor of the Marble Hall Hotel, Vauxhall Road which is now a cafe. Last but not least, near the rope walks area off Bold Street is the former Newington.

Three different views of pubs shown earlier. The Jolly Miller at Queens Drive, West Derby. The Coach & Horses, Low Hill from 1992 and the Prince of Wales at the top of London Road and the corner of Moss Street.
To the South of Mariners Wharf off Sefton Street which is
the South Dock Road, is a residential apartment estate surrounding Coburg Dock.
Included within this is the Liverpool Marina Bar & Restaurant.
The entrance to the much loved 'Flying Picket' on Hardman
Street. A great music venue, it sadly closed for a while after a campaign to
save it failed. The Cabin Club on Berry Street is accessed via a doorway down
Wood Street. Roscoes Bar is on the corner of Renshaw and Oldham Street.
The Majestic stood on Hall Lane at Binney Street. The Royal Liverpool hospital can be seen in the background. The Salisbury is tinned up in a demolition area containing Granton Road, Liverpool 5. The recently refurbished Recency on Derby Lane, Old Swan was seen earlier on in its guise as the Piano Bar.
The Magnet is situated on a block on the North side of
Hardman Street. This was known as the 'Sink' club in the 1960s. The Garston
Hotel on St. Marys Road/Dock Road was a fine building until destroyed by fire
after lying empty, pic thanks to Philip Mayer. The Brooke Hotel on Brooke Road
West, Waterloo as captured by Phil Wieland.
The Black Dog pub on the corner of Burlington Street and
Vauxhall Road closed for business in 1970 whereupon some time after, an arthur
maiden type advertisement hoarding was erected after the original Burlington
Street sign was moved to the left. The premises since became a William Hill
betting shop and the sign has just been removed in December 2007 to reveal the
moulded pub signage worded: Walkers Wine and Spirit Stores. On the corner of
Dorans Lane and Harrington Street stood the Bears Paw which later became the
Harrington Bar. Around the corner, as seen in pic 3 was the Swiss Chalet club.
The former Bar Red is now plain Bed on Wood Street. The Alma
De Cuba on Seel Street is the former St. Peter's church dating from 1788 making
it the oldest church in the city centre. Walkabout is off Concert Square.
In a mass of converted warehouses and Merchant dwellings in
the ropewalks area of the city centre we have Baa Baa off Slater Street,
Heebeegeebees on Seel Street and Funky Box on Fleet Street. D-Riff and the Lime
Kiln - Lloyds Bar are off Concert Square and Le Bateau is on Duke Street. This
little collage is completed with BarFly on Seel Street.
The Globe decked out for Christmas on Cases Street. Tess Rileys
is in the parade beneath Blacklers. The Swan Inn, one of the few traditional
style pubs in Wood Street.
Temples Bar in Temple Street which runs between Dale Street
and Victoria Street. A former Higson's house on Duke Street is now a mini mart.
New Zealand House on Water Street now houses the snazzy 'Newz' bar.
The One4 (formerly the 147) Snooker and pool bar is in Fleet
Street. Angels lap dancing bar is better known to many as the Cumberland, in
Cumberland Street off Dale street.
On either side of Stanley Street: Bar Dufay, the Navy Bar
and Sugar Fantasy Bar sit opposite Superstar Boudoir in the city's gay quarter.
Allerton Road as a main thoroughfare is rich in wine bars
and restaurants. Yates's and the New York are West side and opposite are the Gallery,
pod, the other place and Crichtons.
Frank Lehnan took photographs around Liverpool in the mid
1970s. Purchased by Colin Wilkinson, he has thankfully produced them in a newly
published book with Bluecoat Press. Here are some of the pubs featured. The
Gregsons Well which stood at the top of Brunswick Road at its junction with
Radcliffe Street. The Thistle on Heyworth Street (seen earlier in its current
guise as May Duncans), also on this pic is St. Benedicts church undergoing
demolition. The ornate Derby Arms which stood at the foot of Everton Valley.
The Brougham stood facing Brougham Terrace on West Derby Road in sight of the
memorial fountain. The Lord Nelson seen here on Gt. George Place with the
Anglican Cathedral in the backdrop. The popular Clubship Landfall was moored in
Collingwood Dock. The Trafalgar is seen next in a row of delapidated properties
on Regent Road. Another corner pub, the Myrtle Hotel, followed by The Waterloo
on Empire Street (off West Derby Road). Last, we see The international on
Regent Road which became Frank's cafe.

Three different views of pubs seen earlier. The Trinity
Vaults on Latimer Street L5. The Windsor Castle, William Henry Street and the
Court House on Commutation Row.
The Sports bar, Sir Thomas Steet and the Royal which was on
the corner of St. James Street and Bridgewater Street. (thanks to Philip
Mayer)Below: Wolstenholme Square, L1. The Other Place, the famous 'Cream' and
The Pleasure Rooms.
Situated on Old Hall Street and originally a bank, these
premises became Brokers Bar during the 1980s and under the management of local
chap Steve Tierney has since been an Italian Ristorante called the Via Veneto
and is now the Cot'n Bar (facing the Cotton Exchange). The next shot from
Philip Mayer is the Stanley pub on Rice Lane (now demolished) with the Plough
in the background. Next up is the Curzon club on Temple Lane in the city
centre.
The Angel (Stanhope Street) as pictured in its prime by
Philip Mayer. Another couple of wine bars in Allerton Road. The Southbank and
the Mello.
The Stadium, Townsend Lane, seen earlier as the Cockwell
Inn. Bar Euro was a fish and chip shop throughout the 1980s, it is situated on
the same block as the Conservation Centre on Whitechapel. Bar Fresa, (it seems
trendy these day to prefix with the word 'bar') is in Colquitt Street.
The Metropolitan, Berry Street has previously been seen on this site as the Masonic but has also been the Black Horse and Rainbow and the Liverpool brewing Company. Club 051 was built as a cinema on the Brownlow Hill/Mount Pleasant junction. Part of this is now called the Sunrise club which is open until 6am. The 'H' bar & nightclub is on the corner of Victoria St and Temple Lane.

Two pics by K.G. Rose showing the Botanic, Botanic Road in
March 1977, it is previously shown on this page in a state of delapidation just
prior to its demolition. The other one is of the Derby Arms in March 1973. This
was at the foot of Everton Valley and a petition to keep the building standing
due to its fantastic tiling fell on deaf ears. The super lyric theatre can be
seen here too, standing just behind it.
McCartneys Bar on the upper West side of Bold Street. It's
swinging sign shows the trademark Hofner Violin Bass guitar that the Beatle
famously used. Society is housed in plush Georgian grandure next to La Bateau
on Duke Street in Liverpool's ropewalk area. Kingdom at the bottom of
Harrington Street was Baco's in the 1980s.
PJ's in the new vibrant Queens Square area. A better shot of
the Nook in Chinatown's Nelson St. The other pic is on the last orders page. (Right) The St. George, Berry St.
The Globe, Cases Street. Above the window it proclaims 'The
pub with the famous sloping floor' - and there was me just thinking I was
drunk. Stamps too (as in II) is in South Road, Waterloo - the other one shown
higher up on the page is in Moor Lane, Crosby. The Castaway Bar is in the Liner
Hotel, Lord Nelson Street.
The Supper Club on Blundell Street in the previously seen
'Blundell Street' colours, perhaps it's moved a little further down the street?
Below Left: 'Dreamers' pole dancing 'Gentlemens' club, Peter
Street off Victoria St, L3.
Below middle: The former Lamplighter pub on the corner of
Great Homer Street and Rose Vale, L5.
Below right: The River bar on the corner of Manchester st
and Victoria st.
Ink/Print near the bottom of Stanley St. 'Peach' is situated in Sir Thomas Street, just up from its
Victoria Street junction. The Arriva/Merseybus club is situated in a warehouse cellar in Hockenhall Alley off Dale Street.
The Tradewinds bar is situated on the 2nd floor of the Thistle Hotel (the former Atlantic Hotel) at the bottom of Chapel Street. The newly created Atlantic Terrace can be seen near its outdoor area here.
When Cube was pictured here in the summer of 2008, it was just 1 day old as the City centre's latest addition. It can be found on Seel Street.
The Audio Club and The Rubber Soul Oyster Bar, both in Mathew Street and Puccino's cafe bar on Temple Street - pictured October 08.
Old Skool 90s bar in Temple Street and The living Room,
Victoria Street (in Victoria House). Next is the world famous Eric's which
spawned many a famous Liverpool group in the late 70s, not to mention hosting
many world famous bands from elsewhere.
The Lomax, Cumberland Street was another group orientated
gigging venue. This was previously La Fayette and Jolene's (owned by Jobo Jones
and his wife Eileen - hence the name). Lennon's Bar is another warehouse cellar haunt on Mathew
Street.
Two views of The Cavern Pub near the top of Mathew Street,
one of 6 watering holes on this side of the street alone.
Somehow, the original Cavern Club was allowed to be demolished in the 1970s when the City Council hadn't got on to how much of a tourism draw, the Beatles would be. This was one in a long line of gaffs, having seen the likes of the overhead, sailors home and customs housebite the dust.
A plaque boasts that the current Cavern Club is at least
built on 50% of the site of the original and retains its world famous address
of 10 Mathew Street. Original bricks were also used to reconstruct the arched
'Beatles' stage seen top right. Extended to the back, towards Harrington Street
there is also another stage in a room which can cater for a further 300
revellers.
The Brunswick on Tithebarn Street, also seen earlier on these pages in various guises is now enjoying a new lease of life as the 'James Monro' after a refurb.
The 'new' Shakespeare pub on the corner of William Square and Dawson Street which is the exact site of the old Shakespeare seen earlier on these pub pages.
Elude bar and restuarant is situated on the ground floor of
a nice looking warehouse on Porter Street which runs from Gt Howard Street to
the dock road.
The remnants of the Kendal Castle (also pictured earlier). This is the latest pub to bite the dust as seen on new years day 2009. This is at the junction of Westminster Road and Fountains Road in Kirkdale.
The old and the new clubs of Seel Street. Once fields and
gardens, once thriving with Georgian mansions, once desolate in the late 1970s
and now reborn (in parts). Scruples might be something you needed to enter the
club of the same name seen here on the West side. Hopefully these buildings
will see the sympathetic modernisation afforded to 'The Peacock' on the corner
of the new square. The different colour brickwork to the gable end will give
you some indication as to the original and the reclaimed.
Two views of the former Clarence pub, Bootle. The first is from Bridge street, the second from Canal Street, off Millers Bridge. The building looks like it may have originally been built as a bank.
Bad Format club is at 3-5 Trueman St, L3. Jamaica Room is on
the corner of Greenland St and CUC is a little further up.
Left and top: The Artists club, Eberle Street and so is 'Passion'.
(Top Right)Designation is on Temple Street.
Fudge on Wood Street and Holy Joe's on Concert Square, packed out on a fine summers day in August 09.

setting with The Lounge on the left and Concert Square to the right. J.R.'s Bar
- Liverpool is next to Tess Riley's on Gt Charlotte Street.
Wood Street, once home to Wilsons, The Swan, the Cabin but
not much else apart from derelict warehouses now has a wealth of lively bars
and eateries around it. The famous old side door of the cabin club where you
ring the bell for admittance. It was a fave hang out place for nurses in the
70s. Zoo is a new addition in an old building and this two storey block houses
both Tease and Woody's.
Ye olde house at home and its neighbour The Travellers Rest
in Aigburth are now converted into apartments. These two are courtesy of John
Harrison.
The Dingle pub on Park Road with its junction with Leonora
Street was later known as Jessie Appleton's but is now a funeral directors. The
South Hill was another old favourite Dingle corner pub.
Chameleon on Back Colquitt Street and OSQA on Oldham Street
in two of the new big complexes to grace our city in recent times.
The Liffey on Renshaw Street and Studio on Hardman Street
facing Bumper.
The Jester pub as seen from Crete Tower.
