Eerie tunnels and cursed 'death chair' in one of Liverpool's oldest pubs

Tucked away on one of the city's oldest side-streets, a pub with a long and colourful history still nurses a few startling secrets.

The Denbigh Castle pub building has stood in Hackins Hey, Liverpool city centre, for over 200-years. In the 1970s and '80s it was called Walter's before becoming Jupiters in the 1990s.
