Every table is taken on a sunny Wednesday afternoon at Beer Station.
The compact pub is found on Victoria Road in Formby, spitting distance from Freshfield station. It is nestled among the mansions of the town's 'Millionaire's Row', where the Rooneys, John Parrott, Jurgen Klopp and Brendan Rodgers have called home.
It is around 4.30pm and the pub is busy with regulars. At the bar is Ian Walsh, 68, who runs Beer Station with son Keir Walsh, 38.
