I'm sure it's now known as The Old Rope Walk. I've got a photograph somewhere on my other computer. I'll see if i can find it.

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

Wow, thanks for the speedy answer! I found a photo of the pub on Scouser Dave's site:

I worked in Tate and Lyle's in the mid 70s and often went boozing round the Scottie Road area with the blokes I worked with, most of them lived around the refinery. One pub they often mentioned was Effin' Nelly's, which was round the Limekiln Lane area I think and was so named because of a previous manageress. I can't remember if we ever went in there or not but can anyone remember where it was and what was it's real name. Still makes me laugh whenever I think of it.

I don't remember the proper name of 'effin nellies' it was behind the multi story flats on Vauxhall Rd/Blenheim St. opposite the Shell station that was there in the 70's.
She used to come in the garage to 'phone her orders in because her 'phone was cut off and she was on a cash only basis with the brewery, that was in '71/'72 when i worked down there for a short while.

Ged or Gerard will probably know the proper name.

This place on Heyworth St. has some wonderful carvings of people on the outside-you can just see two of them over the door.

I'm going to have to try that building again with my Sony this time Instead of my Vivatar.

Scouser Dave has the ULTIMATE pub picture.

It's my second name and It's actually spelled right!

Too many people spell It with an A(Like Dave has In his link) which isn't correct.

The recently renovated Salisbury on Lawrence Road In Wavertree.

Was closed for a while then reopened and looks nicer more red and cream.

I might redo this photo though, but It looks good In Meduim size.

The Swan in Fleet Street does a nice pint and is very friendly too.

Thanks Ged for the photo of Effin' Nelly's. I didn't realise it was the Tatlock. Gone now I suppose?

I was looking at a picture of The Victoria in Great Howard St further back - it was usually called The Irish House. Cracking pint and the cleanest glasses I've ever seen in a pub. It was great for the 2-10 shift in Tates, we usually had our quota in by about nine and could leave someone to clock us out then sneak out the gate and head down there. The Fly House was too close but okay on nights when there was no foremen round.
