10 one time favourite Liverpool pubs that served last orders and no longer exist

Who knows how many Liverpool pubs have come and gone over the decades?

In a city so ever-changing and on the move, it's hard to keep track. Liverpool is renowned for its nightlife and has had some very iconic pubs throughout the years.

Many have been re-branded or redesigned, taken over by new management and brought back to life.

But there are too many to count that have been demolished and we’ll never be able to step foot inside ever again.

Some have been replaced by the likes of restaurant chains and student accommodation, while others stand derelict - and some have left no traces behind at all.

Below, we’ve taken a look at 10 beloved former Liverpool pubs that have served up and no longer exist.

The Wellington, Dingle

Prince Charles famously enjoyed half a Guinness at this pub on Mill Street, Dingle after re-opening The Florrie nearby in January 2013.

The building has now been converted into apartments.

The Berkley Arms

This pub was based on Upper Stanhope Street and closed in 1982.

The space remains an empty lot.

The White House

This former Berry Street pub is probably better known as the building Banksy adorned with a giant rat.

It appeared on the corner of Duke Street and Berry Street in 2004 as part of the Biennial arts festival. The building was later turned into restaurant Petit Cafe du Coin.

Eagle & Child

East Prescot Road the Eagle & Child pub closed in the mid-1990s, after a major disturbance and three arson attacks.

A McDonalds restaurant now stands on the site.

Legs of Man

This famous pub stood next to the Empire Theatre and, despite fierce opposition, was demolished in 1999 to make way for an extension to the theatre.

The Leather Bottle

The King Edward pub off Leeds Street and Great Howard Street in Liverpool city centre was demolished in 2007 to make way for a proposed skyscraper.

While many designs were submitted, the project never actually got underway.

The Griffin

The pub was located on a busy junction, and was just down the road from The Royal next to Bank Hall Station.

The well-known pub is now home to The Old Griffin Antiques and Collectables.

The store spans over three floors and sells everything retro and vintage.

The Poets' Corner

This pub was situated on Park Hill Road and was popular among locals.

However, it sadly closed in 2008 and has since been converted into flats.

The Talbot

This attractive pub with the blue-painted frontage was on the corner of Derby Road and Church Street in Bootle.

The iconic building has unfortunately been left derelict, but its sign still hangs on the side of the building.
