The Gardeners Arms public house was situated at the bottom of Broad Green Road, there had been an inn at this location since the 1800's. The original inn was at the end of a terrace called "Fairview Cottages". Long before the building of Edge Lane Drive when Broad Green Road (originally called Petticoat Lane) went from Old Swan, past The Rocket Inn, all the way to Roby, there was a huge nursery at Oak Vale. The Gardener's Arms faced the nursery, hence the name. The pub was rebuilt with a bowling green around the 1920's and demolished in 2013 to make way for this care home.
