The Excelsior which was in Troughton St also wasn't on a corner 
Just had a look through all the pubs in 1914 and nothing on the corner of  ?? Place.
Mind you, maybe they only included a side road if there was an entrance to the pub on it. Seems all the pubs in Liverpool were on a corner 
Mysteries I love 'em!!
Cheers

I think we need Paul to come back on line and post a better resolution scan of the road sign and lamp.
I have loaded it into my photo manipulation package, but there is just not quite enough detail.

Hi,
Wow, this thread seems to have generated some interest since last night!!!
Right....here goes with the answers to the questions that have been asked.
1.) I said 'thought it might be Liverpool' purely because I haven't as yet 100% identified the subject of the photo. I'm almost certain it's Liverpool though. Can't think of anywhere else it would be. In any case, from the limited reading I've done, Threlfall's Brewery were based in Liverpool and Salford only.
2.) Although the photo is small, and the man can't be seen in much detail, from his stance, and general size, it would appear to be my Great Grandfather. I obtained the photo from his daughter, my mum's aunty, although she didn't identify him.
3.) Interestingly, someone mentioned 'Hudson Place'. Now.....whilst I hadn't said so, I was of the opinion that it might be 'Hodson Place'. If so, this would place the pub in question in Everton, on the corner of Hodson Place and Margaret Street. If this is the case, then I belive that it's still standing...it can be seen from West Derby Road if you look over to the right of the Water Tower in Everton.
4.) I will try to post a higher resolution picture this evening.
Many thanks for the assistance everyone!
Paul

No pub on the corner of Margaret St and Hodson Place unfortunately 
Hopefully if you can enhance the photo we may sort this out.

Sarah St also borders Hodson Place and there is a pub called The Dolphin.
Got to be one of those two.

Hi
I think with the magnifying glass it could just as easy be Hodson.
Also, this afternoon, I've seen a pub called the Clock and pondered as it had the right structure and window arrangement apart from one major thing. Might be the door had moved or similar, and a complete different look. That's surface, though.
It might be the one that said it was acoffeee shop now.
Only thin ng is, was it your site, or my book? Here goes!

Hi...
Computer keeps crashing..so very quickly...!!! 
1.) Street name is definately 'Hodson Place'. Found powerful magnifying glass. Can see it quite clearly.
2.) Thanks to big magnifying glass, now not even sure who the bloke is, as he appears to have a moustache, which my great grandfather did not have.
Still.....who cares.....I'm intrigued to find out which pub this now anyway!!!!
