Four years after the last Liverpool meeting of the Young Lads’ Debating and Literary Society, we were back for a few cultural pints. As before, we started our tour in the North Western, a JD Wetherspoons pub at Lime Street Station.
John and Tony Parry. Two young lads from The Wirral. John’s trip for a
pint was only a few miles, but Tony came especially from Australia for the
beer
Next stop, Dr Duncan’s, where I am happy to report that the ale was
first class.

Ye Cracke, a famous Liverpool institution. Originally named The Ruthin
Castle, this pub acquired the nickname ‘Ye Cracke’ because the small original
bar only held 10 people. This was extended into the adjoining property in 1876.
John Lennon and Eddie Donnelly both frequented the pub, albeit at different
times.
