Was this hughie tolls or something like ? I have a vague memory of going there once.

not sure dilly, long time ago lol,seem to remember it furthest away from the river streets,but deffo by council houses maybe end or corner of street, just going down memory lane and an old pic would of been nice.

Bloodtub? Hughie Tolls rings a bell but can't for the life of me remember where that was.

Wasn't Hughie Tolls on Corporation road,the four bridges end.

Bloodtub was ilchester square, the corporation rd one was the dolphin . Tolls may have been called the graving dock. Again only vague on this.

have been in the bloodtub aka graving dock..yeah, remember dolphin, sure i would remember name if someone said it,

click me hope that helps.

thanks mark, think you have solved it for me it must of been the graving dock sounds familar, great pics and info on blood tub enjoyed the read.

The Blood Tub was called the New Dock Hotel. There was a Pub on the corner of Beaufort Road and Tyne Street called the Graving Dock, it was opposite the Bidston Graving Docks. Then working towards the Four Bridges, you had the Royal Duke, corner of Duke Street, then The Dolphin,then The Royal, then the Mersey Arms and finishing with the Wheatsheaf on the corner of Pool Street and Corporation Road.

There was also the Half Way House at the junction of Corporation Road and Patten street demolished in the 1970's along with Beaufort Square. Here is a link to a picture taken in 1948 from Gallaher's Hill.
