Anybody from the Liverpool area recognise this place?

I lived here above the pub in the 70’s as a kid. My dad was the landlord there between 1973 to 1978

Aintree pub in Bootle mate.

Pub at the front and had a cabaret / club part attached at the back.

I was between the ages of 5-10 when we lived there so some memories of it.

I went to school at St Matthews in Queens Drive before we moved to the Fylde Coast in 1978.

….ah, I know where it is now. I think there was a betting shop nearby I watched the Grand National in when it was re-run on a Monday.

Old footy mate of mine went to St Matthews in ‘70s, Brian Oliver.

Close but Litherland Road is a bit further down and crosses Marsh Lane rather than Aintree Road.
