Looks like could be being demolished (scaffold, roof off, total demolition signs). But nothing is coming up on the council's planning website when searching by postcode? (CH44 5SN)

When Bidston Dock & the West Float were busy with shipping & sailors, the Pool Inn was a meeting place for "Night Fighters" of the commercial & female type.

Oh what a shame, I noticed that it had been borded up for a while.
What a lovely building it was and not so long ago either.

OMG, I didn't realise they were demolishing this place.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Might be, because its the governments fault ale is cheaper in the supermarket than it is in the pub.
