I don't know Arrod that well, but it might be where Soprano's is now, if it's the same old Co-op.
Also on Glebe Street, across from the Post Office, the Co-operative Society built this imposing building opened in 1909 on the site of the old Vicarage in a similar style to the Town Hall.
Originally housing offices and separate shops the ground floor was later made into a supermarket whilst above furniture and other household goods were sold. A purpose built supermarket was erected across the street which has itself been superseded. The old building did continue as a retail outlet but it is now Soprano's, a cafe/bar thing.

Sorry, thought you meant the restaurant in the early 70s, ya Brian was a keen golfer and played at Accrington and was a regular in the Golfers Corner in the Stop and Rest with Wynonie's Dad and of course your parents were regulars in the Stop too, that's how I got to know them
