Ghost Hunt – The Old Linacre, Bootle | Saturday 1st November 2025

Hidden beneath the streets of Bootle lies one of Merseyside’s most intriguing paranormal hotspots — The Old Linacre, located at 46 Linacre Lane, Bootle (L20 5AL). Once a thriving community pub, it played a key role in local life and proudly displayed the Higsons Brewery livery, complete with the iconic “liver bird and hop leaf” — a lasting symbol of Liverpool’s brewing heritage. Though its taps have long since stopped flowing, the building’s spirit has never truly left. Today, it stands as a vibrant community centre — and a place where echoes of the past still stir.

The Mystery Beneath

Few buildings hold secrets quite like The Linacre. Built with two cellars stacked one above the other, the structure once served two very different crowds. The lower cellar, running alongside the canal, was frequented by hardworking barge men, while the upper cellar opened onto Linacre Lane, attracting locals from all walks of life.
Centuries later, those energies remain imprinted within its walls, creating an atmosphere perfect for DeadLive’s paranormal investigation team — and for those brave enough to join them.
