Fred,that is the Queen's Hotel, wasn't the Queens Head on the corner of Ormskirk Rd.
Any names? Is that Stella Richardson at the front?
Ken that was the Queens hotel. it is now the Queens Arms, the one on the corner of Ormskirk road was The Plough and Harrow.
Forgot to say, the Queens Head was behind the photographer, on the roundabout.
jimmy,the Plough and Harrow was opposite Scot Lane, the Queens Head was at the junction of Ormskirk Rd. and Warrington Rd.
Imagine trying to have a walking day in the same place now!
The Queens Head is now the Queen's Arms
Fred, the Queens Head was demolished in 1972, the pub in your picture is the Queens Hotel, which is now the Queens Arms.
the face in far right background looks like les lawton from lawtons chippy
I think the girl with glasses could be Ann Whalley and the girl far right might be Anne Keenan.
