In 1909 the pub belonged to Robert Cain & Son - not the current company of that name but the original. This confirms the second of the two pics with the earlier post: the first pic is of a later rebuild.
It was indeed a large boozer, with 1766 square feet of licensed drinking space, & 11 rooms for domestic purposes. WG Coles was the manager in '09.
The rebuilt pub has gone too, replaced by a new extension to the adjoining Empire theatre.
I have another photo, probably from the 1930s or 40s, when the pub was advertising Walkers Warrington Ales - they succeeded the original Cains.
If you would like a copy, send me a pm with an email address.
The pub has an entry in 'A Pub on Every Corner' vol 1, Liverpool City Centre, which gives a probable origin in the 1790s, as a coaching inn.
