Marble Hall Hotel

The former Marble Hall Hotel, 68 Vauxhall Road, Liverpool, boasts fine terracotta faience on the exterior. The brewery is advertised on the side and front faces along with their Blue Label beer. There is also a Threlfall's mosaic on the floor in the entrance porch: 'MARBLE HALL ... THRELFALL'S ... HOTEL'.

Threlfall's Brewery Company had breweries in Liverpool and Salford. The company was active between 1861 and 1967. John Mayor Threlfall bought the Lupton and Adamthwaite Brewery in 1861. The company was registered in Liverpool in 1888. In around 1895, Threlfall's bought the Blue Lion (previously White Lion and Apollo) public house on Cook Street in Salford and built the Cook Street Brewery. The company took over Chester's in 1961 and Threlfall's operated the Cook Street site as Chesters and Threlfalls Brewery, while Threlfalls continued to brew in its Liverpool brewery. The Threlfall's group included West Cheshire Brewery, Birkenhead Brewery and Mackies off licences. Whitbread took over the group including the Moorhouse's soft drinks company in 1967 and the Salford site became surplus to requirements in 1999. Whitbread closed the company's head office, brewery and bottling plant in Trueman Street Liverpool in the early 1980s. In 1967 Threlfall's was the eighth largest brewery in the United Kingdom, and the largest in North West England and after the takeover, Whitbread a predominantly southern based business, became the second largest brewery business in the United Kingdom.
