The Herculaneum Bridge Hotel was built in the middle of the 19th Century, and is a fine example of Victorian architecture. A large glass roof dome in the
breakfast room is a particularly interesting feature. The Hotel is situated in the district of Dingle just inland from what used to be the Herculaneum Dock. It was frequented by the crews of the sailing ships which used to anchor in the dock. A particularly colourful past landlord of the Hotel had a wooden leg, hence the nickname Peglegs. In 2006 the
Lounge room was completely refurbished. Well-spaced tables and a raised seating area at the back of the
room provide a convivial atmosphere for social drinking and Private Functions. The hotel is close to Brunswick Merseyrail station and several bus stops for Liver
pool City
Centre. For the more exercise minded, the City
Centre and the Albert Dock are both approximately half an hour's walk away. For transport details, click on the link to the How to find us page. The following photographs show aspects of the interior and exterior of the hotel. Please be patient while the photographs are downloaded. Full English
breakfasts are available in the function
room. The ever popular public
bar has been renovated, although great care has been taken not to affect the ambience and atmosphere for which the Herculaneum Bridge is justifiably renowned.
