yeah I went to bonkers once it was empty lol

Kicking out time was a regular source of amusement.
The phonebox, where they'd all congregate, waiting for taxis' was at the bottom of our road. Saw all kinds
Despite the nightime 'reputation', it appeared popular during the day, for diners.
Upstairs,the dining area, had a floor to ceiling window-fantastic view of the Liverpool waterfront.

And the toilets.
The land is owned by Peel Holdings now. It was fenced off, 'open' again now, most of the boarding ripped down-even though there is nothing to see, particularly! (And my dogs got Fox Ticks )

Yes, considering the site was empty land it was fenced off pretty well with giant concrete things blocking the road. It must have been just to keep travellers out.

any one remember incognitos nex to the blubell pub seedy place

Is it true that the Blazing Stump got its nickname because an ex seaman with a wooden peg leg used to stoke the fire with said apendage?

the incog was the place to go if all else failed.full of blokes with flat noses and ladies that would for a tenner pmsl

Yes, but he was the landlord.

I Remember going in here when I first moved up here, why did it burn down? Was it arson? Did this place have a reputation for being a sticky floor slapper hang out?
In other words if you didn't pull you must be gay lol.

all the knock backs from clubs in birkenhead n newbo ended up in there lol

So is the tavern the place for the Birkenhead knock backs to go now then?

you mean the tav? that was grab a granny in the 90s but know its a fairly decent gaff. tallulas on the prom is good not been since rjs shut probably over run with chavs lol

I only went in there once. It was like the fecking Star Wars Bar-only in the Star Wars Bar the women were better-looking!! The music was good, though. I remember having to walk away from the place to get a cab as the cab drivers were reluctant to pick up from there. There was also an unusual smell from the adjacent oilworks or summat similar. All in all-an experience never to forget!!

I went in there a couple of times when I 1st moved up from down south mate. Full of slappers.
