The Pubs of Accrington

[Bob Dobson]

I should have made it clear that the Preston chap has done work on Preston's pubs.

This pub, The Beehive, was on the corner of Bank Street and Oak Street

Thanks Atarah, I have added it.
Which corner was it on?
Do I have permission to use the picture?


Re. Oddfellows and Borough(s)
Which corners were they on?

I had hoped to collate information supplied by forum members about their local pubs, it would appear that most of AccyWeb members joined the Temperance Society and have no interest in the history of Accrington's dens of iniquity

[Atarah]

Don't see why you cant use the photo. Its only "learning" folk about the history of our town. The Borough Arms was just lower down from the Beehive, on the corner of Oak Street and Cross Street

The Duke of Wellington, Abbey Street 2004
(now up for auction 2015)

[Bob Dobson]

There are several pub photos in my book '' Accrington Acclaimed' There is a list of pubs in my book 'An Accrington Mixture' The former is on sale in the Print shop bottom of Peel St. The latter is out of print. Borrow one through your Library

Thanks Atarah - I will add the image.
When I asked which corner I meant to ask which of the 4 corners of the crossroads were they on?

[Morecambe Ex Pat]

Do you want me to add an Accyweb watermark or some other marking for ID purposes?

Thanks Atarah - I was notified about the Kings being closed and with regard to photos, I need to be sure of having the copyright owners permission before using any.

Here is The Adelphi 2004, now a house. My photo.

[Big Dave]

Adelphi was a great pub in the 60's, again Thwaites to blame,
start of their unloading locally

[MrPastry]

The Spread Eagle..... And Frank Randle's favourite watering hole.

Might anyone have any 1950's photographs of it?

[MrPastry]

I think the Spread Eagle is open now?
