I heard that there was once a murder of a woman upstairs at the George and Dragon pub, Argyle St. Birkenhead. Apparently it was sometime in the 1950s but not for sure. Does anyone have any memory or info on this event?

the landlady that was murdered by her husband

1971 i think

Yeah, 1956 stabbed by her husband

Just before Christmas 1971, or possibly 1970. It was the front page story in the Echo.

... the landlady stabbed her husband, not the other way around.

My dad always told me that everyone used to say that 'George killed the Dragon'!!

Lol Jenscho I like that one, The George is my local will always think of themurder now!!!

Interesting thanks

As I said, the landlady stabbed her husband to death, not vice-versa. See this thread ...

Ooo err. Thanks for the detail. I'll try and track down some more info at the library.

Just read the other thread and remembered that what my dad actually said was George didn't kill the dragon, the dragon killed George! Sorry!!
