The Story of Liverpool’s Oldest Pub

Liverpool is a city steeped in history, and this week one of its oldest institutions reaches a remarkable milestone. Tucked away on Hackins Hey, Ye Hole in Ye Wall celebrates 300 years since first opening its doors in 1726.

Across three centuries, the pub has witnessed generations of life in the city, from quiet conversations to lively celebrations, each leaving its mark within its walls.

Current owner Stephen Hoy joins us to reflect on what it means to take on such a historic space, the responsibility of preserving its legacy, and the stories that continue to unfold there today.
