There used to be additional stops on the bypass close to the traffic lights at the junction of Orrell Hill Lane by the now demolished Weld Blundell pub. I and several friends used the 47's predecessors (the S2 and later the 284) regularly when we fancied a pint in what was then a small countryside pub. It may also surprise younger members to learn that, in those days, the last bus back to Bootle was just before midnight.
