HISTORY- located on scarsbrick new road , this late victorian property has very little traceable history , over recent years the pub has shutdown 3 times , a total refurb in 2011 still saw the pub close permanantly in 2013 , in 2015 a tall wooden solid fence appeared around the property which started rumours that the building was up for demolition , a spokesman for the davidson property group who currently own the pub have declined to comment on the subject . sadly these old pubs can be demolished without planning permission ! real ale enthusiasts fear that another southport pub will disappear off the CAMRA map .
THE EXPLORE- we found this pub after being tipped off by another members brief report n pics on the place , we wanted to see more ! so one saturday morning me and my fellow derping partner @Cazel#HT cased the place out , after a little pushing n prodding we found a way onto the property , we was in a rather busy street on a major shopping day , so with as little fuss as possible we quickly made our way in before the un-noticing public could cotton onto our presence .
once inside the pub itself we was surprised at the amount of stuff left inside ! with the place to ourselves we began to laugh at ourselves for finding such an ace explore , we started off by playing pool then snooker followed by a half hearted piano lesson off @Cazel#HT , we then proceeded to carry out a thorough explore of the place !
PHOTOS- as usual i was using my canon 10-18mm wide angled lens , not the crispest of shots , but am able to fit everything into the lens ! enjoy the pics folks !
