Bird in hand in oakdale road was knocked down yesterday.

nooooo. was intending to get piccies

For the benefit of us ex-pat's.... What is/was the Bird in hand ?

hi pin, it was a public house in the egremont area.

Thanks Ste.

If it's what I'm thinking it is, it is in 25 Oakdale Road Seacombe.

My brother in law Tony Smyth used to be manager there a while ago

There's loads of pics of demolition on the Wallasey Memories website..

Who moved Egremont to Seacombe when I wasn`t looking :-)

wonder what happened to the pictures/ artefacts inside?

I was there last year after the Wake of my dads partener. Turns out plusone knew the Landlady....she offered us the chance to do a Ghostie....gutted we never followed it up

Thls pub was very haunted i believe.

sorry zipper i was in a rush when i typed that.

The changing face of egremont and seacombe!! Anyone remember the Dale just up from the Bird, the Bookies opposite the Bird and the chippy around the corner. Not to mention Yates wine lodge in the corner of Ashville/oakdale roads. Oh and the wash house and the pipe cleaners factory. All good times a gorsedale school haha. End of another era

the bird was a good boozer back in the day when tommy munnerley had it
