About the Pub
Historic Interest
The building dates back possibly 200 years and is known to have been a pub possibly as far back as 1861. In 1891 it was known as the Lion Inn. Renamed the White Lion it was acquired by Birkenhead Brewery (later Threlfalls) in 1904. The old photo of the two gents sitting in the garden of the White Lion is of Thomas Ryan (left) and his son Frank. Thomas was licensee of the White Lion from 1946 until 1954 and had previously been licensee of the Canada Hotel in Birkenhead which was destroyed by bombing in 1941. His son Frank was the licensee of the Bank of Ireland in Birkenhead from 1948 until 1962. After Thomas Ryan died while playing bowls in August 1954 he was succeeded as licensee by his daughter Annie Teresa Davies (known to the family as Nancy). The pub was sold by the brewery in 1974 as a free house to Mrs Margaret Richardson who created a ladies only bar in the pub in the mid 1970s. Selling Whitbread beers in the 1980s.
