When you go over the 4 bridges and turn left towards the flour mills what was the name of the pub on the right .Would this be in Birkenhead or Wallasey
hi anyone remember the grapes pub behind hamilton square my local back in the 70s the bakers arms top of grange rd now a macdonalds pub that was by oak and eldon gardens in 70s dance hall conway st was it the majestic creep inn new brighton
The true answer is none! Dock Road is in Wallasey, its equivalent in Birkenhead is Corporation Road, then Beaufort Road. The boundary between Birkenhead and Wallasey is down the centre of the docks, passing through the middle of the Duke St Bridge, and the middle of the dock that is now the car park for the Irish ferry terminal. ( This means the road entrance for the Terminal is in Wallasey, but the boat leaves from Birkenhead.) There used to be town name signs as you went over the bridges, but these dissapeared when they were refurbished, and have never been replaced by Wirral Council. And, since 1974 when Birkenhead and Wallasey all became part of Wirral, I can't recall an official map showing the actual boundary. To add to the confusion, the Post Office use their method of naming convention to give premises on Dock Road, Wallasey, a Birkenhead address, and the phone box at the end of the Dock Road had a Birkenhead telephone number!! Sorry to go off topic a bit. So, which road did was it?
If you take theDock Hotel (Dock Hotel Shore road) Freeman Street as being the start of Corporation Road Wheatsheaf Hotel 39 Corporation Road 39 2 to 4 Pool Street 2/4 Royal Hotel Corporation Road Cathcart Street known as Dolphin Hotel Mersey Arms Hotel Corporation Road Neptune St Royal Duke Hotel Corporation Road Duke Street Halfway House Patten Street (possibly part in Corporation Road) and to throw into the mix on an 1889 map Hoylake Road going from St James church towards Moreton was called Corporation Road Bidston Hotel Bidston Hill Hotel 50 to 52 Hoylake Road once called Corporation Road

There's a good post on wiki about the Grapes(Old Colonial by bennyboy The Grange Hotel was the pub where MacDonalds is. The Bakers Arms was at on the corner of Exmouth st/Claughton rd opposite the Music Hall pub (where the new Asda part of is nearest Exmouth st The tunnels under the fair which were the Creep In are on a youtube video possibly called the dungeons of New Brighton
