Historic pub dating from 1747, named after the small boats which were kept behind the pub. Reputedly haunted by the ghost of Jake Bolt, was a favoured meeting place for soldiers, sailors and the 'working class'.

Historic Interest

Dating back to at least 1747, previously known as the Boat House and listed by that name in Bagshaw's 1850 Directory. An Argyle Brewery pub transferred to Birkenhead Brewery and rebuilt in 1876. Became a West Cheshire Brewery pub, known in the early 1900s as Ye Olde Boat House Inn - see old photo taken about 1920. In 1980 described as having a lounge bar with a nautical flavour and selling Whitbread Special Cask Bitter. The more recent black & white photo was taken in 1992.
