Drink problems were rife in the the working classes in the central areas where there were pubs on every corner. So when they redesigned they attempted to reduce the alcohol temptation. But they never put in any social focal points - the pubs were the traditional focal points.
Was that actually planned in the 20's and 30's in the South Liverpool area?

There are quite long stretches with no/few pubs.

Brodie Av/long Lane has none
Aigburth Rd. has ony one between Aigburth Vale to Garston
Not much South of Rose Lane up to the Greeenhills...

Was this actually planned in the era of "The Pledge" when I presume this area was populated?



Or was I brought up in a non-drinking area....
