Arnside. Lovely part of the country. Can be busy though somtimes. A walk up Arnside Knott over to Silverdale is recommended.

Loved Stafford as a student back in the eighties, the pubs were great but haven’t been back for thirty years! It must have been hell for the locals with all the out of towners. I can remember the Bird in Hand, The Grapes, The Swan, Coach & Horses, Vine Hotel and the one near the river that had live bands (looks closed now, The Tavern, but sure it was called something else) plus more. Then we had Penkridge nearby and a decent dive crawl up near the prison, not to mention the student place near the Bird. Pity about the local beer though, Mitchells & Butlers.That's the "Bird in Hand".
Ah, memories.

I lived in Liverpool for seven months before I came here and spent two in Wavertree. Students made up a significant percentage of the population and you just got used to them. They didn’t really mix with anyone else but were never any trouble.
A few of my drinking buddies were from Bristol, Hull and the North East of all places. It wasn’t just Scousers.

All the pubs you mention are still open except The Tavern which is currently being converted into a restaurant and flats.
There is now a cracking selection of real ale pubs with the Bird in Hand & Shrewsbury Arms both Black Country Ales pubs & The Sun is a Titanic Pub.
Other than that, there are two fantastic micropubs (The Devil's Taproom & The Ship Aground) and a craft beer bar (Candid).
Both the university & army barracks are now out of town in Beaconside so don't really see many students or squaddies in town these days.
