The Dock on Freeman Street has been set on fire, and the old bill are camped outside waiting for the fire brigade to give the building the all clear.

No one was hurt in the fire, even the cats got out OK

Used to be loads of boxing pics, it's more of a rock/alternative place for young goths these days!

Les McAteer, i think your thinking of Bezzy, Jason McAteer ex Liverpool and Tranmere player is part of the family, not sure if they had anything to do with the pub.
