You can get maps and locations of pubs from the Wirral Archives. I obtained a map showing my great great grandfathers pub the Bridge Inn from there and found the staff exremely helpful

I can confirm the old court buildings in Pilgrim Street became the UBO (I experienced Thatchers Britain as a young Jobseeker) and it closed down around 1981 - concentrating the UBO work at Hordan House....

I desperately wanted to work (unlike now after 33 solid years!!)but it was so bad I went back to school - and ended up with an MSc. !

I suspect that what was once the nut factory may have been a
hotel once


No.138 on corner of Adelphi Street and Market Street - known as 'The Old Maids' (sorry don't know the official name) was run by 2 women who where still there post WW2 - as I have a photo of my Dad having a pint of Stout with my Gran and Grandad and his brothers and cousins - after he was demobbed ! The family home was in Adlephi Street and this was their 'local'..

I think the nut factory was between Dacre Street and Marion Street - not off Market Street - remember the pong vividly...

On the same side of the road just doors away from the Glass Barrel Pub which is now demolished and relaced by Bill Board Hoardings I think the name of the pub right on the corner of Market Street and Chester Street was called the Ranelagh Hotel and was almost directly facing Pilgrim Street

It was I am sure the Ranelagh Hotel on the corner of Market Street and Chester Street on the same side of the road as the Glass Barrel and just a couple of doors away. The pub was directly facing Pilgrim Street. Now demolished and replaced by the bill boards which can be seen on the site.
