Almost every friday evening around 6ish from 91-94 I'd pick mrs degsy up from work and we'd have a few in there on the way home
Talk about coincidence the bookies next to the farmers is where I used to pick mrs degsy up from then on to the quarry
Looks just like it did when I used to pop in on the odd Saturday afternoon...in fact a bit better.
Hard to believe but back in the late 60s when there were still 'Sunday drivers' and it was still thought of...depending where you lived obvs...as 'out in the country'. On a sunday dinner they did a nice chicken and chips in the basket you could eat outside in the rear garden if it was sunny...ground breaking stuff for back then - food in a pub.
It was obviously a much loved pub, because you would often see the fine gentleman of Huyton sitting on the steps of the pub with their cans of special brew for a long time after it was closed and boarded up.
When I was a kid going down past it on a bus - they would be playing Pitch & Toss with two coins for betting - police chasing the off lol -

It's probably been mine swept in here mate lol
Then a load of guys came in selling all sorts of alleged good knock off gear - so he purchased a bargain & went home no need to go to town after alllol
before I was married we had bought three dogs from there over the years.

A lovely Art Deco building ....
Liverpool last tram No. 293- Bowring Park - those posh houses that got cleared for the M62 - as it was going all the way to the Liverpool docks - ended at the Rocket as the Docks had virtually closed = nothing changes .... -
