How dare a Blackburnian join in a debate amongst Accrington historians? Well, I'm going to
I was interested in this pub (Slaters Arms) as it was a Dutton's House. Good old Blackburn brewery Dutton's you know !
Well from my quick research Walter & co, the Slaters Arms wasn't 21 or 23 Whalley Road, that was the Hope & Anchor Hotel at numbers 21-23 Whalley Rd (still is from what I can gather).
The Slaters Arms was at number 13 Whalley Road and was on the corner of Marquis Street. I don't know if Marquis Street still exists?
According to my reference books, Whalley Rd began at Abbey Street. You then had numbers 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 (then cross Marquis St) continuing with number 13 (Slaters Arms), 15 (a temperance bar), 17 (once a newsagent), 19 and the the Hope & Anchor at 21 -23.
