Keith - the Les Jones you refer to as the doorman at the Pinehurst was in fact my mate (and best man at our wedding) He was a Nurse and rose to the heights of Nursing Tutor at Clatterbridge Hospital before retiring a couple of years ago. In fact Maggie and I are going to New Brighton later this month to help celebrate a major wedding anniversary for him and his wife Sue.
You also forgot to mention that the Pinehurst in fact moved to The Richmond Pub in Breck Road before going to the Cattle Market. Les and I shared doorman duties there.
