FOX AND GRAPES, Ribbleton Lane   #

FOX AND GRAPES

   225  (later 178)  Ribbleton Lane

*

 This wonderful image comes to us courtesy of Mike Jackson, the great-great grandson of the man in the photgraph, Richard Livesey. Although the description mentions c.1932, Richard had

moved up the lane to the Skeffington Arms by 1929.

Notice the 'Bowling Green' sign to the left of the property.

The bowling green itself was said to be quite special in its quality...................................

well it will have been. Apparently Richard collected the contents of the urinals to

use as a fertilizer on it!!

I'm not sure when this sign was in situ, but it is believed to

be a long while ago. 

(I'm advised that it could be as recent as the 1990s)

If you compare this fragment of the building with the

photograph above it, I'm sure you'll agree it's a good fit
