Forums Forums Lost & Found the blood tub

the blood tub gettin closed on 3rd ov november its gettin puled down moore ov were i grew up to be taken a way gutted its were i had my first pint where dose it stop there is nothink left

Where is the blood tub?? What's it's proper name? Either way, gutted for you Ducko.

Near the old Kwik Save in the North End

Better get some good pics then before it gets pulled down.

Loads of Higher Tranmere has come down aswell.

Doubt any of it will be replaced anytime soon just like the river streets

Ahhhh, the one with the flats on top of it. I'm with you now. That's a nice building when you take a proper look at it.

I know what you mean about Tranmere too - I came back from down south and my old home had been demolished. I used to live in Hadlow Gardens (the top tower block on the hill).

I take it they will be building flats on the site of the pub then? Not that anyone will be able to afford one

it's proper name is the new dock hotel

I know they need to regenerate certain areas on the Wirral but some things should be allowed to remain. There's no money in pubs anymore, but what about the elderly people for whom the pub visit is the only chance they get to actually have some human interraction?? First the post offices, now this.

The mind boggles!

ye mate a mix ov old and new

i thought that it was due to get knocked down! did not know it would be so soon.another pub bits the dust?

think i`ll move to the country

i cant believe how many pubs are being closed, knocked down and turned into apartments/flats

too true!would of thought it would have been listed? its the only orignal building left there!unless its on the next burn list?

T'is a shame, my Grandad and I used to go there nearly every Thursday for a game of pool whilst i was at Birkenhead Sixth Form College, and he lived by St James Church.

I'll have to try and get down there with him, he's now moved to Irby, for one last game before it closes

i actually grew up by the blood tube i'm actualy going to be shocked when that pub goes thats where i hanged out when i was a kid

'its the only original building left there'
Its not exactly original - built in 60s wasn't it?
The only original thing left round there is the remnants of Lee tapestry works (Kwik Save).
I wonder what they are planning for the area?
Maybe more 'social' housing?
Wouldn't it be ironic if they put up something similar to dock cottages - they could throw hundreds of undesirables in them!
