A MAN and a woman were rescued from the roof of a Merseyside pub after it caught fire.
Firefighters were called to the Dock Hotel, in Birkenhead, shortly before 6pm yesterday.
Crews were called to the detached pub in Freeman Street after the blaze tore through the ground-floor bar area.

Funny how prime building plots around here catch fire. Sorry for the poor buggers caught up on the roof though it must have been very frightening. These arsonists don't think about the people who are in the premises and they only get minimal sentences when they're caught.

It's strange the amount of buildings catching fire due to arson in that area in Birkenhead?! Surely someone more official is thinking the same thing?

Its also strange that they just happened to be in financial trouble and where expecting to close by the end of the year. I can't reveal my source for that on here but I was told it by someone I know well who was in a position to know about it.

It did have a for sale sign on it - I think these signs should be issued with a safety warning - "beware, flammable material"

The premises was for sale, not the business. Purely just a chane of ownership. x

That's what happens when you don't pay your protection costs.

I loved the dock, hadn't been in a few years though.
I remember going there when I was 15, getting in through the side door at 7am on a Saturday and Sunday morning, trays of food on the bar and the whole pub pack with early bird drinkers! As soon as the other pubs opened at 12, the place would empty out.
Great memories! smile
