Can anyone identify this old Liverpool Pub please?

Paul McCartney's father Jim MCartney lived at 3 Solva Street as a boy. He was born around the corner at 8 Fishguard Road in 1902.

Can anyone find a picture of the Dolphin as that was on the corner of Sarah st and Hodson Place?

Hi

This is a map of the area in 1906 (I hope). Although Hodson Place goes off-map, you can see the two pubs. The one on Sarah Street end looks promising, but the one at the Everton Road end is on the wrong side of the street (I think).

Great map John.

It does look like the Dolphin is the one doesn't it.

1. The orientation is right
2. It occupies the whole block on one side - just like the one in the photo
3. It's at the start of Sarah Street which would explain the other street sign partly hidden by the lamp.

Some more corroboration for The Dolphin. There was a shop on the corner of Sarah Street and Lloyd Street which is the street  that runs on the other side of the Dolphin from Hodson Place.

It was at  72 Lloyd Street. The proprietor was William John Davies in 1911.

In 1894 it was a dairy, proprietor Mrs Mary Hole.

All we need now is a photo.
I checked the website I posted earlier inacityliving, but couldn't see one, mind you there are loads

Keep on going

In 1938 the Dolphin Hotel was run by a Mrs Delia Morris. I can see her in the phone books at that address ( 7 Sarah Street) up to 1947. Can anyone find a later reference to the Dolphin ?

Dolphin was still there in 1955

Is it still standing??? if not when was it demolished, surely there's a picture somewhere.
