Does anybody have any info, knowledge or photos of the old boatyard and the tennis courts that used to be at the rear of the Pilot Boat pub ?? I am told that the tennis courts used to be called "The Jewish Tennis Courts" ??? but I can't seem to find much info on these places online. Any help/clues would be very welcome. Many thanks guys/girls. Ken

Looks like it would have been next to the bowling green which is still behind The Mags. They might have some info

History of Wallasey,

"The Pilot Boat House in Magazine Lane was built originally as a brick-cottage in 1747. At one time there was a boat-house attached to the inn where the river pilots of the day kept their boats. Back then it was known as Pilot Boathouse At one time post-mortem's of those drowned in the river were held in the inn. In 1822 William Roberts was the licensee and remained at the pub for another 38 years. In 1876 the pub was rebuilt and enlarged. In 1956 the Boat House was reconstructed and extended at the cost of £16,587".
