Fancy a drink in a Listed Building or Heritage Pub?
As you know the Philharmonic Dining Rooms in Liverpool City centre had its Listing status upgraded from Grade ll to Grade l, the highest rating that Historic England can bestow on a building in England. This will give it an extra layer of protection in planning terms.
Did you know that there are a number of other interesting listed pubs selling Real Ale in the Liverpool & Districts CAMRA area? So if you fancy a pint in a pub with characterful historic surroundings, knowing that not much has changed over the decades, then check out this list.
All the Listed Pubs can be viewed on the Historic England web site: historicengland.org.uk where you can review the details of why these pubs are so special and need to be preserved.
