Don't recall a pub in Shotwick village.


You're correct, there are no pubs in Shotwick today, however in the past there was at least one inn, The Greyhound, there is a picture of it here, it closed in 1915 because of 'drunkenness on the Sabbath'. This was due to Irish farm labourers from farms on the other side of the Welsh Border three miles away. Wales, at that time, was 'dry' on a Sunday and the nearest pub open was the Greyhound.

Thanks uptoncx. You are a mine of information ! Never realised there was a pub in Shotwick. Been past that house quite a lot en route to the marshes. Wonder if the Saughall Greyhound took the name after the Shotwick one closed ??

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.

Pubs with Posts





Huge Thanks Uptoncx
I didn't even see those mistakes, keep them coming,
we want to be as accurate as we can.

The list will always tweak as we go along.
And i guess a few missing numbers along the way.

But we as moderators can now rename a whole topic with out
having to edit each post to do so.

Not sure about the "Pubs with Posts" threw me that one.

Please don't go away lol wink

The 'Pubs with Posts' is just my list of all the pubs that have had pictures posted, it's just how I am keeping track of the numbers, sorry to cause confusion

151 Park View Hotel 71 Duke Street
149 Grand Trunk Hotel 55 Dock Road (Duke St)

not sure what you mean about signs
Here are the photos of them
I'm fairly sure Duke St may have been called the dock road at some time
