The room upstairs at the Mitre was on a level with the flyover & many a time there was much merriment/consternation, when halfway through a song the fire engines would put their sirens on as they passed by at window level, (the station was just round the corner).
The 'Ship & Miter' as it's now called, is one of the best places to get a good pint in Liverpool. We (Southport Swords) dance inside there once or twice a year.
Cheers
