Re: Pubs in Oswaldtwistle
Thanks for the list of pubs in Union Rd. JellyBaby. I served my apprenticeship to drinking up Ossy and have some good memories of them good old days. Can you tell me if there was a pub down Straits I think it may have been called The Falcoln. It was closed down when I used to go up there.

To an earlier question in 1908 the government introduced the liscensing act and reduced the number of pubs by a third.in the same year john nichols invented vimto in blackburn as a trendy alternative to alcohol.
