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

correct Chris, But was the chap right then was the courts turned in to the uab/brew.
No idea, Bert, never went there myself; escaped by joining the RAF. 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. !

hope these help FROM 1916 STREET DIRECTORY
I've been told by a couple of guys that in Market st on the other side of Argyle st that there used to be 2 old ladies
that used to serve beer in a very small bar
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.
