Historic Liverpool pub that was 'boss back in the day and still is'

One of Liverpool's oldest pubs that boasts a fascinating history and a "supernatural" past has been a mainstay in the city for generations.

Located on Fenwick Street, The Slaughter House is based in the centre of the city’s bustling restaurant and business quarter and has evidently seen the city adapt and evolve around it. The building itself is a bit of an enigma - no one is certain how long the site has operated as a pub, though it is thought to go back as far as the 1800s.

The Slaughter House is so called because it was once located near to Liverpool's abattoir, which was on Drury Lane, but it has never been one itself. Staff from the abattoir are thought to have come to the pub for a drink after a hard day's work.
