Irby Mill

Formerly a cafe, the pub was originally the house of the miller of the mill on the site and opened as a pub in 1982. With thick sandstone walls, low beams and a real fire it comprises a small L-shaped, stone-floored bar and a lounge used mainly by diners. The pub has an excellent reputation for its locally sourced home-made food with a menu to suit most tastes.. The nearby Royden Park and Thurstaston Common provide the pub with many passing hikers and visiting CAMRA parties to supplement the strong local following. The black & white photos show the pub in 1980 and 1992.
