There's a pub down the Rossendale valley - don't ask me exactly where - that sells nowt but soft drinks (Dandelion & Burdock and the like). It's a bit of a tourist attraction but historically it's a throwback to the temperance movement of the late 19C. Funnily enough, the C.I.U. started off in a similer vein. I wonder if there was ever a similar 'pub' around Accy, and if so where?
