Hi MERLINMOG if you go to a site called real ale rambles there`s a picture of the peacock in the pubs A to Z section but it`s boarded up I`m afraid and looking a bit sad there is a list of landlords dating back to 1839 hope you find this interesting  |

It was a miracle it survived the huge fire at the building next door in 1964, we all thought it was a 'goner' for sure. In the event it escaped with very minor damage to the roof tiles!

By coincidence I happen to have a shot of the Peacock from the 1980s, also showing the large surviving building next door....

Ask a silly question but I thought Gosford Street was supposed to be a conservation area?!  |

That's FAR Gosford Street  And it's not a convservation area, but an area undergoing regeneration  |

It's not the original building in any case. It was completely rebuilt at some time early in the 20th Century.

Real Ale Rambles listed my great grandfather Arthur Shilton in the early 1900s! I am so thrilled to get this - thank you so much.

I remember a wine bar in the late 80's early 90's called Manhattans down Hales St above a shop. |

Mid to late eighties was my era as well. All the pubs mentioned were regular haunts. One place that hasn't come up is the Pagoda Chinese restaurant on the top floor of the tower block. We went in there a few times for a late drink and some fried rice. |

Manhattans - that was it Deano! I've been asking about that one for a while as I couldn't remember the name of it. Didn't last for long though did it. Wayne the DJ who used to spin the discs in the Holyhead worked in there. |
