The Bridge Inn opened in 1900 as a temperance meeting house. It obtained its licence three years later after a ballot amongst the workers voted for alcohol to be allowed. Originally, there was a bridge here which carried Bolton Road over the tidal arm of Bromborough Pool. Soon after, the creek was dammed and filled in. By 1910, the ground had been raised to road level and the bridge's arch buried from sight beneath the present roadway.
