Over the years, Joe Devine, an ex neighbour of mine and a life long St.Joseph's parishoner captured the images of many pubs, some of which are no more than fond distant memories. Here, and supplimented with my own shots, they are brought back to life for one and all.

Clicking on photo sets highlighted in blue shows them in 'Lightbox'(TM) Enjoy !

Some fine Gin Palaces. The Crown (pic 1) and The Vines, known as the big house (pic 3) are at opposite ends of a block on the East side of Lime Street. The Philharmonic Hotel, better known as just 'the phil' sits on the corner of Hope st and Hardman st, it's ornate toilets being an unusual attraction.




This block on the South side of Hardman Street once housed 'The Flying Picket' (still there after a closure and re-opening), Plummers (now Bumper) and Chaucers during the 1980s. Hannah's was once Birdy's and Hardy's whilst Kirklands (built as a bakers) has been renamed the fly in the loaf in commemoration of its original use. 



The Flute, Hardman St. The Roscoe Head, Roscoe st. Woody's, Wood st. 



Slater Street sipping seats. Flares, The Jacaranda (once owned by first Beatles manager Allan Williams who had them perform there). Next door is the Marlborough, facing is Slater's Bar. 



The Whitechapel/Hood Street junction. Much changed over the years and now containing The Rat & Parrot, (now closed) Yates wine lodge and The Sphere. 



The East side of Walton Road houses The Pacific, The Queen's Arms and The Springfield Hotel. 




The Dispensary, Renshaw st/oldham st. Riley's, The Beehive and Brownlows on Mount Pleasant and the Punch & Judy, Bolton St. The latter showed the local premiership teams on the big screen, always resulting in a packed house. But was destroyed by fire in 2012.









'The famous' Carnavon Castle, Tarleton st. The Penny Farthing, Roe St (one of the very few surviving St. John's precinct pubs). The Old Rope Walk, formerly the Newington which is situated in Newington itself.

SPEKE UP 


Hale Road, (at the airport end of Western Avenue) was the place for drinking at one time if you lived in Speke. The Dove & Olive (the starting point for many a Boxing day fun run) and the Pegasus are sadly no longer with us having been demolished in 2004 and 2006 respectively. However, The Fox, a little further along from All Saints church is still going strong. For further info on Speke in general.  



The A580 Townsend Lane area of Cabbage Hall in Anfield. The Clubmoor, the Canon and the Elm House. Fazakerley. The Copple House is situated on the corner of the lane of the same name and the main route into town, Longmoor Lane. Further along the thoroughfare is the Farmers Arms and on the opposite side is the Grey Chaser (formerly just the chaser) 




Breck Road. The Brunel, The Royal, The Lutine Bell, The Breck, The Cabbage Hall (2 views) and The Richmond. Lots of 'the'ssss. 



The route of Princes. Rice Lane with The Prince Alfred, The Prince of Wales and Prince Leopold. 



The Mere Bank, St. Domingo Road. Drop down the hill onto Netherfield Road North to the former New York pub and the Cumberland Arms that was renamed the inn on the hill which is now disused. 



County Road: The Black Horse, The Glebe and The County. 



County Road II: Further South, the Chepstow Castle, The Harlech Castle and the Brick (formerly the Red Brick), only now it's cream. (this has also been the Prince Albert). 



The Black Bull on Walton Vale triangle. The Windsor is on the Vale, Orrell Lane junction and further towards town is the Plough on the East side of Rice Lane. 



Three in a row. The Sandon which became the picture house and now back to the Sandon. Situated on the corner of Oakfield Road and Houlding Street, L4. EFC used these premises as a changing room when John Houlding had control of the St. Domingo Sunday school outfit. Next door is the Village with Dodds bar completing the trio. 



The Royal Oak, Spellow Lane. The Dog & Gun, Croxteth Hall Lane. The Flat Iron (due to its shape) on the Walton Breck/Anfield Road split. 



The Queen Victoria near to Rice Lane flyover/roundabout. The Prince George and the Prince Arthur are on Longmoor lane near to its Walton Vale end. 



The Oakfield on the road of the same name. The King Charles is 50 yards up Thirlmere Road. The King Harry can be found on Anfield Road 



Three pubs frequented by the kopite hoardes on a saturday lunctime in eager anticipation of 3pm, assuming Sky haven't arranged another midweek outing instead. The Salisbury. The Albert, (complete with a multilingual welcoming sign), pictured here with the famous Spion Kop behind. The Park, dating from 1888. 



The Stanley, Walton Breck Road. Turning right into Robson Street, the Granton is at the top of Granton Road, The Waverley is a little further up, on Breckfield Road North. Just before the Halfway House on Walton Road had the 'new' added to it, it was a Dickie Lewis pub for a short while. The Fountains Abbey is on the end of the next block, The St. Hilda, now renamed the Ale House is on the next block again. 



As with the previous three pubs, the Clock, the Salutation and Tom Frost's Wetherspoons are all to be found on the West side of Walton Road. 



The Windermere Hotel on Breck road stands directly across from the Breck (shown earlier) on the now closed off Windermere Street. The George is 50 yards down on the junction with Oakfield Road and The Willow Bank can be found due East on the next major junction at Walton Breck Road. 



The Winchester on Townsend Lane/Winchester Road. The Shamrock on Rice Lane. The former Netley Pub on Walton Road. The Oaks, formerly the Royal Oak on Muirhead Avenue East. The Old Barn, in Old Barn Lane of Breck Road, The Arkles, Arkles Lane. 



The Liverpool Tram, a pub that only traded between 1973 and 80. Situated at 14 Tempest Hey on the corner of the now abolished Ryleys Gardens, it was decked out inside like a tram with pictures of the subject matter on the walls. The Cleveland public house can be seen here in Cleveland square next to the seamen's dispensary. The red tower of Chancery House rises from behind it, most of this area is now on the fringe of the new L1 Grosvenor development. Pic courtesy of and with thanks to Philip Mayer. 



St. George's Place captured magnificently in colour by Joe Neary in 1961. The famous neon signs are on what was known locally as Queens Arcade which consisted of The Imperial, The Washington and The St. George's Hotels as seen here. To think that such a bland offering of a concrete hotel and a multi storey car park now takes up most of this space and that's progress. 





The Goats Head which was situated on the corner of Smith Street and Kirkdale Road with its unique ornamentation. Such was it a local landmark that even when demolished, the vacant land had a sign which said the site of the Goats Head. Pic by A.F. Gahan. 















The Wellington on Christian Street c1965. This was known locally as Cassons and was demolished along with the rest of the block that fronted onto Islington in the early 70s. Pic with thanks to Colin Wilkinson. 







Now cleared for the L1 Grosvenor Development. Paradise Street showing the Triton pub beyond the Argos super store. The pub which was facing the moat house/Holiday inn hotel later became 5th Avenue. Photograph by and with thanks to Philip Mayer.
