the Letters
used to sell Aussi White Wine with Bass chaser I think
Only went in there once when pub crawling Skid Row (what we used to call Market St)

Remember it being a quiet alternative to doing a mad one on Market Street !!!!!

Pictures with a young lady then off to to Letters - if she was posh and from Oxton ! (reader I married her!)

Talking about 1982-3 when all the Skid Row pubs were still open...

I used to frequent the Letters a fair bit in the early 80's, run by a baldy scouser called Phil, lovely bloke, had his family run it with him. A lot of punk rockers and indie kids in there but never any trouble. Dic Aberdaeron was one of the regulars i remember in there.

i remember gary and his mrs running it they still have a cafe on the square called the letter

used to go there when it was the letters was a sh1thole but enjoyed it lol

Was it one of the few pubs where you could get Aussi white wine followed by a Bass chaser

yeah lol in the old days spend the whole night on market street and get wasted but always do the letters and find a stay behind in the barristers miss them pubs

Found out today.. My Grandad worked in the Letters in the late 50s

It's either closing or being redecorated

Did it have another name before the letters?

Now called Chambers

Reopening with in the next month by a mate of mine The flying horse and the housewifes kitchen cafe/night pub
