A historic Liverpool pub known for being an "iconic meeting place" for football coaches and tourists has been serving customers for generations.
It's easy to whizz past The Rocket at the end of the motorway on the way into the city centre. But for decades, the pub has been a Liverpool landmark and become a place where "everyone knows everyone." The original pub in Broadgreen first stood in the path of the M62 near a roundabout.
Named after the Stephenson's steam engine, Rocket, which broke down near the site, the original pub closed in the 1970s and was knocked down to make way for new lanes for the M62, before being rebuilt on Bowring Park Road in 1982. Now a Greene King pub, Paul Griffiths, 65, has been tenant for the last 15 years.
