276 Rock Villa Hotel Ltd 329 Old Chester Road

I remember this pub. But - strange - we always referred to it as The Rockville. Until I saw this pic I never realised what the correct name was.

I think I first met my first wife in there.

has been boarded up for about 4 months .. went past there today an upholstery van . and builders where there ..think it could be opening back up

Vans/builders have been in and out of there for the last couple of weeks.

I was waiting for one of the For Sale/To Let signs to go up but nothing appeared.

thats round the corner from me and when it was open the fag ends were piled up everywhere hope it becomes a nice pub as it was a bit rough before.

I'm pleased to report that it is still open as a pub.

People were outside on the benches enjoying a drink in the sunshine this afternoon.

The Rock Villa has been back open for a while now.

The Fairfield however has been steel sheeted closed again.

The Rock Villa (Rockville) is now "The Hair & Beauty Hub"

The Rock Villa (Rockville) is being turned back into a pub again, the building has been done up (very nicely outside) and a license was applied for last month (11th June).

The Rock Villa has put in a planning application to convert the first floor into eight one-bed apartments. https://online.wirral.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=226284

Cutting about the demolition of the old Rock Villa hotel, in 1936. That part of Rock Ferry was one of the first to be developed in the 1830s and 40s, at the same time as Rock Park but on a more modest scale.
