Thanks to Mr Wignall for the photo.
was this taken from the liverpool rd side ? .
If my memory serves me right this pub was more or less opposite Wellington Street. How well kept it looks with the lacy curtains.
which kings arms is this ? .
It does say Scholes Whups - in the caption.
i thought it might be ashton as sometimes there is a wrong bit of info.
Veronica;correct opposite wellington st; the angel & the shamrock pubs were on the corners of wellington st
Walked past there many times going to Scholes Pictures AH. We went 3 or 4 times a week as we didn't have a telly then.
My Dad was born in The Kings Arms 1913, I wonder if the room was one of the windows shown if the photograph . The last Lanlord and Landlady of the pub were Frank and Kitty Charnock ,thier son Frank entertained customers playing the piano which he did with great aplomb .
