I didn't mention the year I was looking at 1901, well before any of us but I was hoping there may be photographs.
MaxTheCollie - mentioning Wolstenholmes made me sit up and take notice as I too used to be a regular visitor but I could not for the life of me tell you where it used to be. I thought it was further down, near the post office.

That driver didn't do well at all, he slammed into a car, peeled the side of a ribble bus, and pushed the car into the side of a big white van which ended up against the wall of the Canine, took a while to cut the young woman out of the car, we were later informed that she died in hospital, one of the senior officers was going round berating blokes for not being fully dressed in fire gear, (we hadn't time) when he got to me I told the ignorant bas***d to F Off, unless he wanted his name in the local paper "uniform is more important than lives". We were old adversaries, I was the union rep, he went out of his way to try and nail me for summat, I went to see his senior and told him if any of my members got injured because of his stupidity, the union would sue their arses off, they moved him else where. (I hated bloody hoccifers, have done all my life, especially after what them donkeys did to the PALS.
