The Old House at Home on Melbourne St , opposite the Ribble bus stops between Avenue Parade and Water St was a Massey's house. I remember going in there for a half of bitter when I was 17yrs. Cost 8pence ha'penny. It was pale yellow, very different from Thwaites' . About ten years ago I went in a pub in Burnley which had Massey's on draught.It had been made specially for the small chain by Bass to Massey's recipe.The locals said it was an exact match.
