- Some of the best Wirral's pubs are now closed boarded up and derelict.This is a sign of the times as people stay in more due to the rising cost of a pint and the smoking ban.Its sad to see some of these grand building's all boarded up.
Here are a few of Wirral's finest pubs as they are now.Its a shame to see them like this.Some great building's as well going to rack an ruin.These venues will never open again as pubs changing part of the British way of life forever.
so many memories from my youth gone ! i left the wirral many years ago ...and have recently returned due to having a delivery round there , i was absolutely shocked at the amount of pubs that have dissapeared .........my regular was the COMMODORE in birkenhead !
I played darts in the 50's & 60's in a lot of the Birkenhead pubs. Seeing the Livingstone closed, brings back it's opening. As a young man my local was the Bank of Ireland in Beckwith Street. It was after 'The Bank' was closed the Livingstone opened. Now that's gone. Wonderful memories, wonderful video, thank you
I'm birkenhead born and raised and this video breaks my heart. Had many a good time in a lot of these pubs. The music fits it perfectly and editing is superb. Thanks for putting this together, we've lost a lot of local history but a least we have this visual memory of what once was.
Excellent video. You can also add The Seven Stiles in Upton & The Royal on Woodchurch Road to the list of closed pubs.
used to drink and play pool a lot in the woodside hotel,late 70s and early 80s,shame it shut,and recently set ablaze,shame about the great eastern to in new ferry, both the stanley and the rake pubs recently reopened in eastham,so theres some hope
When I still lived in Liverpool in the 80s/90s I used to regularly go over the water for pub crawls and a fair few used to involve the Mersey Arms (4:25) that I recall was a good stop for being one of the few places that served the extra strong Wobbly Bob cask ale, and had a couple of bandits that had been in there since the 70s and so cost next to nothing to play. So sad to see it derelict.
Anyone remember. .......the angel Inn. ....the dock......blood tub.......the ferry.......the argyle. ...
Remember them very well and glad that the crown in Conway Street is fighting back .Great pub and great people that are running it
The Blood Tub. Ilchester Square, used to live at the top of the road in Alwyn Street. The Angel 😇 listed building grade B. Many happy memories from two contrasting pubs.👍🥊
Great post, thanks. Sad to see so many pubs closing, but a lot of them seem to be around the docks which says a lot. G
Truly gutted that Redcaps has closed, had a great session in there a few years back on a lads day out.
Love the music
Hello,
The Song is called Cry for You and it is by September.This is the original version and not the remix.
So sad that all these great pubs are gone.
Wellington in Liscard reopened many years ago and is a thriving pub. Have enjoyed a good meal there recently. I write in 2017, nearly ten years after this video was made. An updated version would be great. Moby Dick in West Kirby gone. The Ship in Wallasey gone etc.
The Observatory has been closed and re-opened several times in the last 5 years. The last time was in 2009 but sadly it remained open for only a few short months before closing again. The Westbourne has now been converted into flats. Meanwhile another famous Birkenhead hostelry "The Dock" on Park Street has been closed for around 12 months and unfortunately caught fire and was severely damaged just after Christmas.
Had our wedding reception in The Woodside Hotel, Grand National Day April 4th 1970, Gay Trip Won.
Hello,Yes these where all great pubs in their day many of which I have been in.Those where the days when pubs where grand pupose built builings with great charator.Tom
I use to drink in the Tranmere pk and it was on church rd not derby rd...... you missed the Alex,Carlton, Victoria,black horse!!!! The smoking ban has ever been to blame for these to close....
Hello,
Yes that closed fairly recently.Sadto see it go.
the Wellington in Liscard has reopened as Dukes
Hello,I would say that a lot of people who drink alcohol also smoke too.People who smoke are now put off going to a pub so this is affecting trade.Smokers are now being criminalised and this is encouraged by goverment policy.They think they know what is best for us under their nanny state.Its all to do with saving money in future national health treatment as well.I am by the way a non smoker.
The no smoking ban is killing every pub and club.B
Played guitar in the Corsair they didnt have barrels in the celler the beer was delivered by tanker into huge vats
I for one support the no smoking policy in British pubs, but I'm also definitely saddened by pubs closing in the numbers they are. The thing is, have anything other than 'run down' pubs been closed? Is it purely the price differential between pubs and supermarkets that is causing people to make choices were they drink?
PS - There shouldn't be an apostrophe in 'orders'. Perhaps I'll make a video campaiging about apostropheitis.
Spent my 16th birthday in the Copperfield bouncing around to happy hour by the house Martin's (86)drank in a few of the alehouses.i moved to Holland in 86 never to return apart from on short visits,it's a shame that In the last 35 years britain is the only European country to decline more and more.
Whatever happened,from bouncing around fields full of drugs and love,to a fucking madhouse full of proper whoppers.

Saw the Woodside hotel on fire from The Albert Dock in Liverpool.
love the memories. Just change the cheesy music. Instrumental is best.
I think it is part of losing the whole working class communities that were in Birkenhead before the loss of jobs and industry in the area.
a lot of them were great live music venues!where do they play now?
Hello,I will include these in a future follow up video I will be making.
Thanks
what about the seven stiles ??
Hello.Yes thanks for that imformation.May do a video update.
the admiral has re-opened as the refreshment rooms
way of life's gone
Go on my channel to see the address for petition against the gov raisng tax on beer, If they do stuff like this I'm moving to a sensible European country like Greece, France or Italy where peopl drink more but only sensibly and the gov doesnt have silly high vat.
