61&63 Rankin Street.
The following is taken from the History of Wallasey site.
The Eagle Arms (see image) was on Rankin Street, corner of Limekiln Road. Originally the building was two cottages which was erected in 1837 and were part of a row of thirteen terraced houses, the pub being the first two, until the rest of the terrace was demolished in the 1960's and houses built on the site.
In 1866 a famous local character, "Blower" Davies, opened his corner house as a small bar. As its popularity spread, Blower extended the pub into other rooms on the ground floor and eventually into the house next door.
In the early 1970's the pub went through a major alteration and redecoration programme which turned several small "snug" type rooms into one large room divided by the bar.
By 2009 the pub had closed and in 2012 converted back into two cottages. '
