Waterloo road and St patricks pub

Hello there everybody. 

First post so here goes, were researching our family (Norris) and we are trying to build up a picture of the people rather than name gathering but we are stuck with details of one individual. Andrew David Norris was the manager of a 'hotel' on Waterloo road in 1910, His census says he is hotel manager and gores directory confirms this. We are trying to at least get a picture of the pub which gores and census say was at 74/75. the last numbers on the road, it seems to be on the site of IBS warehouse, there are a few other pubs i have pictures of towards city centre but not this. If anybody could help with how to locate any information it would be great, we live in Paraparaumu in NZ so a visit is out of the question, although id love to.

Richard Andrew Norris - DOB - 20 Feb 1867

Census - Hotel manager

Gores - St Patrick Hotel - 74-75 Waterloo Road

Thanks for any help

Paul

 

 

 

 

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I believe there are a few Waterloo Roads so to identify which is pertinent in this case can you please give the details from the census and especially the references, beginning RG13 for the 1901.  At 74 Waterloo Road in 1901, if I have the correct location, a Davie Horrigan was Licensed Victualler.

For photographs you should enquire with the Liverpool Library and Archives https://liverpool.gov.uk/libraries/archives-family-history/family-histo… or try a few Facebook Groups where there are people who collect old photographs of streets and pubs.  There are a set of books with photographs of public houses, I have only one of them but I'll check that later to see if St Patricks is in that one.

I'm thinking this is the location http://justme.org.uk/code/L1213.html

thanks heaps, sorry for the late reply ive been away. i approached the library who initially came up with the wrong place, they did then send an arial shot of the pub, i can send you the picture if your interested, were still hunting for a closer shot 

Thanks again for helping 

Andrew David Norris

According to Gore's the name is Richard Andrew Norris, In the 1911 census it is Richard Norris. 

Richard andrew is actually richards son, there are so many richards in this fanmily, richard andrew norris had the pub and the library came back to me with the licensee info. ive been away for a few weeks so sorry for the late reply

thanks in advance for your help and i promise to reply now im back

 

This pub was on the corner of Waterloo Road and Regent Street but I've never seen a photo of it. My Grandad was born in Regent Street.

Interesting stuff. The photo of The Clarence? Yes I've seen that on The Lost Pubs Project site. I forgot about the aerial photography I've used that before to look at buildings at Princes Walk. Old photos of pubs often turn up online so hopefully you'll get a close-up of St Patrick Hotel.

This is the map and licensee stuff, all im missing now is a close up of the pub, but that might be a lot. 

Have you tried some of the Liverpool Facebook Groups? there are people who hold copies of photographs who are happy to share if you ask about.
