Ah what is now the Saddle Inn, then the Palatine. I remember it being the Palatine until it got refurbed, at which time they found loads of orginal fixtures and fittings and decided to keep them. Saddle Inn might have been it's original name.

Made the trip down here once more. Upside down indeed. Weird how we always lose here. Last Tuesday I was expecting 3 points tonight to add to those won against Newcastle and with Forest next up to roll-over. Everton huh? 🤷

I remember the tar works in Litherland, which will have been next door to the Rubber Reclaimers Factory, going on fire in the early 70s. Windows in St Wilfred's school across the main road all buckled and cracked with the heat. Add the tannery and Hawthorne Rd stunk!

Nice one Mike. I've been to some of those sites, many still pockmarked yet reclaimed by nature. Haunting.
