Pub called The Denbigh Castle cropped up on an ancestry search, Leicester Street????? Can't find it in the directory on this site. Anybody got any clues at all? I'll keep looking myself aa well. The time I'm looking at is 1891 census.
The pub closed 1950 Trying to date the pic . It looks to me as if they (police and firemen)came off Chester Street and were marching along St Mary's gate (possibly that's White St on the right) to St Mary's church for a service. Death of someone high up in the services or one killed in performance of their duty? Spikes on their helmets
Jolly well done fellahs. It all fits in. Gives me an idea of where my ancestors were doing their stuff, fascinating. Had some lived in Vine Street and I knocked around with that crowd years later for quite a while without realising my own family used to live there. Makes me shiver. Just noticed the name under the pub name and it wasn't them that I was actually looking at, I was looking at the Samuels'. It get weirder, I'll have to look that one up as well.
If you take theDock Hotel (Dock Hotel Shore road) Freeman Street as being the start of Corporation Road Wheatsheaf Hotel 39 Corporation Road 39 2 to 4 Pool Street 2/4 Royal Hotel Corporation Road Cathcart Street known as Dolphin Hotel Mersey Arms Hotel Corporation Road Neptune St Royal Duke Hotel Corporation Road Duke Street Halfway House Patten Street (possibly part in Corporation Road) and to throw into the mix on an 1889 map Hoylake Road going from St James church towards Moreton was called Corporation Road Bidston Hotel Bidston Hill Hotel 50 to 52 Hoylake Road once called Corporation Road
The one on Beaufort Road was the Graving Dock Hotel - think it was on the junction with Ilchester Road....
We watched the Liverpool game in the Cock and Pullet yesterday Bandy spider and myself. We did notice a picture marked as Vittoria Road but we all three agreed, it was Corporation Road.I think a lot of the pictures you see in pubs are a commercial enterprise without much local Knowledge.The Swan used to have some old photo's on the wall of the pub when it was a whitewashed cottage type building.I will check if they are still in the bar area.
Vittoria Road does junction with Corporation Road - after crossing over Cleveland Street if that helps...
Pic of The Stanley Pub in Seacombe (could not find it in Index) Nicked this one from Facebook. Degs, I have various pub related clippings from local papers, care of Grandad to upload too.
At the bottom of Borough Rd, on the north side, by its junction with Brighton St. Tunnel vent in the background. The building with the rounded frontage was a bank that became a pub/club named 'Le Banque' (not to be confused with Stanleys 'Old Bank' at the top of Tobin Street). I think 'The Stanley' is hiding in the shadows of the photo, behind the car, perhaps?. From old maps, I reckon that it was 25 yards to the east from the end of the Stanley St/Borough Rd (aka Victoria Rd) junction.
Dilly, I think I would agree with you. Right now I've been looking for the old map from where I originally derived its location, being 76 Borough Rd (nee Victoria Rd) Seacombe. This shows a little 'PH' in a square in the corner of the 'hotel'.
Rather strangely, I think the Stanley Pub was in the corner of the Stanley Arms Hotel building. They are recorded seperately on the 1871 cencus, and the first time I have a street number recorded for them is 1902. They had different heads of household or licencee recorded for each premise at the same time. They had different drinks licences, one as a hotel and one as a pub. It was some time later that they became one and the same. Or it could be due to discrepencies in the trade directories...
