A chap I used to know, who lived in Jacob St, kept pigs in a sty down the side if the Warner Arms, off Warner St, when I asked him how he managed to get way with it in a built up area, he said it was an ancient right that the council couldn't revoke.
He was still there about 15 years ago.

He was good, Tealeaf, sat next to him to make sure he behaved.
Think he was enjoying the lecture too much, even though the speaker was talking about a load of crap ....

Don't think this is anything to do with any law .. 'tis what the Leaseholder would stipulate as didn't want his land, or area it was in, lowering the tone and value. Like keeping caravans on your drive, etc.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
Next lecture is on Thursday, 2nd December, 7.30 p.m. Lecture Room, Accrington Library.

'Shopping in the 1930's'

Speaker: Mr. Norman Hindley.
Bolton.

Weather permitting of course. Will post if gets cancelled.

Heard this gentleman speak on 'The Little Palace:Home in the 1930's'last year.
He is extremely entertaining linked with an excellent knowledge.
Even if you weren't around in the 1930's, you will relate to some of this nostalgic social history.
