Isnt it the wheatsheaf or what ever in raby dated back to the 1600's known locally as the thatch if im not mistaken.. Apparantly the oldest part of the pub is the fire place..

Yeah The Gallery became Stairways

loved maiden for years, never knew they had been here,seen a picture of a ticket on one of their dvd's.mind you i have never been in stairways either,anyone got any pics inside.

THERE WAS A PUB CALLED FISHERMAMS WHALF SECOMBE BY 4 BRIDGES THAT BURNI DOWN I THINK,

yeah the Wharf was just off east street in seacombe and burnt down 96 after it had been closed for a while.
The owner went on to own the le banque at the bottom of borough road in seacombe which closed down about two years ago

Sorry Guys i will catch up.
Been a really busy week and now a busy weekend.
I have all the stuff marked for editing etc.

Not being a drinking man I have little knowledge about individual places. However, what I do have is a copy of a "Cyclists & Ramblers Map of Wirral" dated around the late 1950s I guess, or at least that will be when I bought it.

Key features of the map are
(a) It shows lots of pubs along the main roads and close to footpaths. Well, I suppose you need liquid refreshment while cycling/ rambling.

(b) The lack of any really major roads

(c) the relatively small sizes of many of the villages etc that have now expanded into almost urban conglomerations.

I have scanned 3 parts of the map covering a lot or Wirral. The scans have then been resized but I think the inages are ok. Some clever person can probably reonbine the three scans into one picture (or if there is interest I will dig out the A3 scanner and try to cover more on one scan).

Hi Mark

There are a couple of duplicate topics in the forum still:
267, 267 Britania Hotel
474, 474 Eastham Ferry Hotel
497, 497 Harp Inn, Little Neston.

Also, the Cool Room is on Twice ( 645 and 628) but 628 is also Travellers Rest Wallasey.

636 Greyhound Inn Shotwick, is missing off the index

and the following have been given new numbers, but are on the index:
414 Argyle Hotel should be 10,
637 Great Float should be 490,
651 Stanley, Eastham should be 596.

Hope this helps a bit, if it doesn't just tell me to go away.

Did you mean the Greyhound in Saughall? Used to be my local. Stan ran a tight ship. If you went into the lounge wearing jeans, he "suggested" you might feel more comfortable in the bar!! No musak and any bad language was viciously stamped on !!

Don't recall a pub in Shotwick village.

THIS IS NOT ON LIST 640(WEIGHBRIDGE/SCHOONER) BROOK ST EAST B/HEAD AM I OK ON THE ^.
