Pubs in Crosby and Waterloo from times gone by

THE changing face of Crosby and surrounding areas is evident in photographs of public houses from throughout the past century.
Memories contributor Tom Heath has sent in a set of photographs from the past of pubs and licensed premises in the Crosby and Seaforth.
One picture shows the former Alexandra Hall that once stood on the corner of College Road.

The Beatles played there in 1961 and it later became a temporary sixth form for Chesterfield High School before being turned into a magistrates court.
However in 2003 the 19th century building was pulled down.
The Caradoc in Seaforth Road is also pictured in a photograph taken in around 1940.

A photograph of The Endbutt Hotel, in Endbutt Lane, has also been submitted and the photograph also dates back to the 1940s.

An earlier picture of The Brooke Hotel, in Brooke Road was taken during or before the 1920s.

Anyone with memories or photographs of pubs in the area from throughout the years can send them in to the Crosby Herald, 43-47 Liverpool Road, Crosby, L23 5SD or by email to newsdesk@crosbyherald.co.uk.
