Find Ancestors

I've been trying for years to find the name of a pub where my grandmother's sister lived. I visited often as a child and could remember it was on a corner, I thought in Everton, but never had any luck finding anything. The 1939 register has helped a little ... it tells me it was at 93 Heyworth Street. I'm sure the pub has long gone but does anyone out there remember it?

Old Campfield Pub? Now listed at 98 Heyworth Street.

There was also the Thistle (now May Duncans) at 33 (I think) Heyworth Street? But this isn't on a corner, so not likely to be this one.

was it the raven

I looked up the 1911 census in case that helped, but it doesn't - the Summary Books entry just says Mr Moorcroft occupied a public house at 93 Heyworth Street.

Haven't found him in the main census records yet.

EDIT:

Oh, yes, found him:

It doesn't give the name of the pub, though.

All I remember is that my brother and I used to visit often with my Nan when we were very young. We were taken in through a door that was across a corner and led into a bar area and we were quickly whisked upstairs. There was a flat roof off the apartment where we were allowed to play. I'm afraid that's all I remember. They won't be in the 1911 census since George was born in 1904 and Ida in 1906. I wonder if Uncle George took over from the William Moorcroft mentioned above.

Thanks.

Think Malyon was correct on her first answer- looks like it was called The Raven.

Liverpool Daily Post - Tuesday 20 May 1941

LEACH- May 17th at Thatto Heath (Late 29 Sleeper's Hill), MARIA, beloved wife of the late James Leach (Re-united). Sadly missed by daughter Ida, George and Muriel, The Raven, 93 Heyworth Street.

Wow, that's fantastic. Maria Leach was my great grandmother and 29 Sleepers Hill was where my Dad was born. So, it was The Raven ... I can't tell you how many years I've been trying to find the name of this pub.
Thanks all for your contributions.
