Even though my grandmother came from Liverpool and my father has been an Evertonian since the 1930s and my school produced Joey Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Jones) (and Neville Southall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Southall)) and growing up in Llandudno there was an awareness of what used to be called the capital of North Wales, I don’t know the place. I was last there a couple of years ago researching Great British Pubs and before that in 2006 on a British Guild of Beer Writers trip to Cains. Reading about recent developments at Cains (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpools-cains-brewery-mothballed-38-3605440) motivated me to have a look at some pictures I took in 2006 on the Guild trip — here they are. This is not a comment on the whys and wherefores of what has happened but just a bit of documentary.
