A pub which once proudly stood in Liverpool city centre became famous after appearing in a classic 1980s television show.
The Green Man on Vauxhall Road became an iconic place for many people who hadn’t even set foot in Liverpool thanks to BBC drama Boys from the Blackstuff. The five-part series used various Merseyside locations, with the show being set in Liverpool and writer Alan Bleasdale also being a Scouser.
Of all the locations used in the series, The Green Man is arguably the most memorable, with it being the place where the well-known "shake hands" scene played out. The show, which was a sequel to the play The Black Stuff, followed five unemployed men as they navigated their lives.
