What was the name of the club above Cavendish Motors?
Someone I asked thought it may have been Houlihans originally.
Think there's a post somewhere on wiki - but I'm useless at

It was "The Lodge" at one time I think.


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

So that's obviously a new build and there was a club above it? Before my time I think.

That is the same building I think although it looks a bit different as a garage.
The only time I ever went in there was over 20 years ago at a private function.

This wirral pubs section is great.
I spent hours the other day looking through and reminiscing about all those pubs that have mostly all gone now.

Looks like a new build. Any pics, anyone, of how it looked before?

As Derek said, there's a picture on here somewhere but neither of us can find it. It looked much the same, just didn't have the single story extension and the doorway.

As Croc says the building in the above pic looks like a new build but I remember it looking very much like that when it was a club.
Surely someone must have an old pic.
