Wirral: Readers share their favourite 'unspoilt' pub

Genuinely unspoilt and unchanging pubs run by dedicated landlords and landladies can be found all over Britain and The Good Pub Guide has shared their eight favourites.

Although no Wirral pubs made the list, there are plenty of unspoilt gems across the borough.

The term "unspoilt pub" is described as "a pub with intact traditional interiors or which have features and rooms of national importance".

Here are some of our favourite responses from Globe readers.

The multi-roomed, low-beamed pub, dating from 1759 suffered from a fire in 2010 but was restored.

The name comes from the fact that it was once used by sailors who were having their outward bound ships reloaded with munitions.

This pub has a main bar area, three cosy side rooms and a beer garden.

Decorated throughout with brasses and bric-a-brac. The main area has a central bar and there are two side rooms. 

This dates back as a pub to at least 1860, taken over from the Argyle Brewery (Cook Brothers) by Birkenhead Brewery in 1866.

Only 150 yards to the beach, it is popular with walkers and bird watchers and a short walk to Market Street for local shops, buses and the railway station.

The pub is said to be recorded as a pub on the 1751 census. The Tithe map of 1844 shows Robert Little as the owner of the property. Licensing records for the pub date back to before 1869. 

The White Lion

This West Kirby gem dates back possibly 200 years and is known to have been a pub possibly as far back as 1861.

In 1891 it was known as the Lion Inn and was renamed the White Lion after it was acquired by Birkenhead Brewery (later Threlfalls) in 1904.

It is a traditional pub in a two hundred year-old sandstone building.

The pub is a little quirky and laid out over several different levels with lots of cosy nooks to sit in along with a real fire to keep you warm in winter. 

Coach & Horses

Finally is the whitewashed traditional street-corner local in Greasby.

The building dates back nearly 300 years. The pub has the atmosphere of a traditional country local with a compact central bar serving several discrete areas including two small cosy rooms with real warming fires for the winter.

Claimed to be built originally in 1724, formerly a farmhouse where ale was brewed and sold from 1725, it became a pub in the 1820s.
