    Smile Liverpool

    Over twenty years ago I went to see Everton playing at Goodison. When we were leaving Liverpool we were driven along the River Bank, and there was this pub standing on a corner with nothing else surrounding it.
    Years later I went to see the tall ships, and drove by the same pub.
    Tonight on the painting show, it showed the same pub standing in splendid isolation.
    How does it survive?

    I'm lost there Vic,you were driving out of Liverpool along a river bank that alone has me confused.The only pub near the Mersey is this one on Otterspool Promenade but why you would be going that way I don't know.A good quiz question I would say.Is it this or was it an old pub.
    Regards.

    I was thinking you meant on the river bank,maybe you are talking about the dock road by the Albert Dock which would be the Baltic Fleet.

    Nice pic of a Pub that one Jim
    But just reading that post again it says standing in isolation??
    So that sounds that it is all alone somewhere with no other Buildings nearby!???

    I found this old Pub standing alone .
    Cheers

    Hi Jim,
    it was surrounded by green fields, which at one time looks like it could have been a housing estate. The roads were still there.
    The pub stood on a corner and was built of red sandstone and looked like the top flats
    had been removed.

    Scotch Piper oldest pub in Lancashire it was said Bonny Prince Charlie I think it was stayed there.It has just been broken into quite a bit on vandalism,they had a cheek to write an apology on the work top in felt pen.Vernon we don't have a river bank in Liverpool we have what were once great docks.We have a dock road which I think is what Vic is referring to.As he mentioned seeing it when visiting the Tall Ships I imagine he was right opposite the Baltic Fleet whilst at the Albert Dock.

    I would also think it could be the Baltic.
    My brother sold his ale in there for years, Aspinalls Cambrinous Craft Brewery, Purveyor of the finest real ales in the Northern Shires.
