Bootle farmer Thomas Sharp got a blast from the past in 1989. Mr Sharp, of Hyton Farm, Bootle, found an old inventory compiled by his grandfather Abraham in a forgotten cupboard. The 100-year-old booklet listed the contents of the Broughton Mills watering hole, the Blacksmith s Arms. Abraham Sharp sold the contents of the pub in 1899. The booklet found by his grandson listed each item sold and its price. The grand total came to £19 9shillings. Rum was fairly pricey - a bottle would set you back 19 shillings. Scotch went for 13 shillings a bottle. The pub had six spittoons, sold at sixpence each.
