LOVE THE BLOOD TUB,JUST YOUR OLD TYPE OF PUB. NOTHING HAS CHANGED APART FROM THE BEER IN THE PASSED 20 YEARS? BUT HOW LONG WILL IT BE THERE?

havent got a clue hunnie i think it will be there for a long time

think so?

the graving dock on beaufort road was allso nick named murphys the blood tub was never called the gravin dock all ways been the new dock hotell

Anyone know for certain what is going to be built on the site of the station road houses opposite the blood tub? I heard a official car park for B-Head north train station.

A McDonalds - to make local meal times a bit easier.
There is some truth in this actually - they did plan to put one on the corner of Stanley Rd and Ilchester Rd opposite St James Church but the Council said No No No.

I heard about that a good few years ago, heaven help me walking home after being on the lash with a mcdonalds and a cash point in walking distance haha.

It would put KFRat out of business

Yeah we don't want that, there would be an uprising in the north end, where would everyone go for their sunday lunch?

My dad informs me it was actually KFC who put in the planning application not Macadee's. They wanted a drive-thru. Sunday lunch sorted - can even go in the car, save energy.

Here are some pics from inside the Blood tub.

good pics,i got off the train last night and walked past the blood tub,there was some fella curled up in a ball outside singing his head off(leathered) tried to help him up but he told me he was happy an to pass him his wallet an piss off so i did lol

I use to live on Wallasey Bridge Road many many moons ago...and the Bloody Tub was my local.

Good 'ol days.
