Summary
[edit]
| Description | The Magazine public house. Pub situated in the Magazines area of New Brighton which owes its unusual name to its association with the servicing and storage of ship gunpowder for the Port of Liverpool. The gunpowder magazine can be dated back to 1751 replacing the original powder magazine, built in 1737, in the Brownlow Hill area of Liverpool which was relocated to Wirral in response to population safety concerns and development pressure in the city. The powder magazine was well used in the days when, in the interests of safety, the tall ships first had to deposit their gunpowder in the store before sailing on to berth. In 1851, amid growing concern over the quantities being stored, the magazines were emptied and the gunpowder was transported up river to floating hulks anchored in the Mersey between New Ferry and Eastham. |
