Anchor Inn

Your posting re the Anchor Inn was made back in 2008 and I wondered if you are still available to share a memory or two about the pub and old Irby ?

We drove through Irby about 4 years ago and was sad to see the Anchor Inn had gone. I remember the public footpath sign and often hiking across the fields to Thurstaston Cross.

Hi all,my mum & dad managed the anchor from early 70s to 1986 my parents names were john & mary strolin,we came from liverpool the pub was a proper pub in them days,we had a bar a lounge & a smoke room all very original,the clientele were brilliant the bar full of rogues lol whom i became friendly with and still in touch with today & a few whove sadly gone D Trueman B Hughes rip,soon after there retirment the anchor became a eateri which my dad was not happy with,ps hope all u irbyites are all ok....with love from chris strolin

The Anchor Inn has not gone just that it has been extended and is now more of a restaurant. The public footpath across the fields to Thurstaston is also still there. Not much has really changed thank goodness..
