Can anyone identify this old Liverpool Pub please?
« on: Tuesday 01 July 08 20:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Was wondering if anyone might be able to put a name to the pub in background of the attached photo?

I'm fairly certain that it was taken in Liverpool, possibly 1920's or 30's. The street plate on the side of the pub appears to read '------ Place'.

I myself think it might be within the Everton area of the city, as that's where the line from which the photo came lived.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Paul I'm a bit confused here.

Do you know the name of the large building in front?  It looks like a pub and Threlfalls as the name of the brewers.

DSo it's the building on the left behind?

I've got a book with loads of old streets in.  I'll have a look, but whether I could recognise the back ground one?

I'll try.

Ah, am I being slow?  You mean the big building but it's actually bhind the man?

Paul,

Is it possible to post a higher-quality crop of the street sign?

Aha ....I think it could be Gordon Place !

That would make it Mossley Hill - off Bridge Road and close to the station.

Just checked 1914 Gore's and there doesn't appear to be a pub on the corner of Gordon Place and Bridge Road :(

I can't find anything in the directories either.

The lamp may be significant. There is writing on the glass. Something like "W&S (?) something and something Ales"

Hi

Yes

I was going to say about the writing on the lamp'   There are a few words. 

If anyone came on line who knew about pubs, this might be a standard pub gign.  There are about six lines of writing and I think one of them has two words in.

I wondered about Gordon Place, too, or Seddon Place.  "on" looks good for the ending.

The shop behind looks loike a grocert's.  The writing on one sign says tea.

I glanced at the book but didn't have yoour photo with me so I'll have another look.

Best wishes
