🎉 We’ve Got Something to Celebrate! 🎉
After a bit of digging—through local books, online sources, chats around the pub, and even a visit to Liverpool Central Library—we’ve discovered something pretty special…
🍻 This year marks our 100th birthday! 🍻
(Well, for the current “new” pub anyway! 😄)
The original pub on this site dates back to at least 1900, when it was known as the Railway Inn on Rose Lane. Records from the Register of Alehouse Licences show it was run by Alexander Wood, with Thomas Hughes as manager.
The pub as we know it today was rebuilt in the 1920s, reopening around 1926 (though some say it could have been as late as 1930). There’s even a fantastic image showing the old Railway Inn alongside the construction of the “new” pub—right where we are now, slightly set back from the main road.
✨ We’d love your help!
Do you have memories, stories, or old photos of the pub? We’d be thrilled if you could share them with us as we celebrate this milestone.

Here’s to the last 100 years—and the next! 🥂
We’ve also got an exciting refurbishment announcement coming soon… watch this space
