Dot Mitchell provided us with an impressive collection of pubs from all around Liverpool - see if you can recognise them all - use your mouse to hover over the small picture to reveal the name. (click on the image for a larger version!)

As Liverpool is blessed with so many fine establishments - we were also presnted with stories from many other pubs - not just where we hold our launch nights.

Ben Flynn told us of his time at the Baltic fleet - "I used to work there in the mid seventies. When I started there were all these chains in the cellar and these tunnels underground. There were rumours about the cellars being used to chain up unfortunates who were shanghaied and taken onto the ships in the nearby docks. And more rumours that Pirates had used the tunnels to smuggle things into the country. But we never did find out what the chains were actually used for!" "When there was a high tide – the cellar sometimes flooded! We had to have all planks and barriers in the way down there, and it must have filled with water about twice a year before we got it blocked off in the end." Now there is a microbrewery in the Baltic Fleet basement.

   

Dave Bullock supplied this picture of the Albert from a book. The interesting feature - not the pub itself, but the bike parked near the front door. It was Dave's bike and he was watching a Liverpool Match on the TV inside!

Steve Flannery has been drinking in the Dingle for many years now, and has written a short article about the pubs on park road. Click to read article

We met Henry Jones in the Nook, and he told us about his photography. He now pops into Dingle Online to learn more about using photoshop software to really bring his images to life. Pictured is the "before and after" of a heron with a fish in it's mouth, taken in the early morning in Sefton Park lake, and then digitally altered to make it look like a more dramatic dawn.
