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
