Re: The Pubs of Accrington
Thanks for the additions - sorry if it gave you a bit of a headache
I was born not far from The Woodnook and it is nice to know a bit of history.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
What was the name of the pub at the top of Willows Lane near Lynch's?
I seem to remember another on Blackburn Road - Oak Tree?
Is Dale Street WMC still there?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
Adding another Antley Inn would create a duplicate, that is why it stopped ya.
Where should it be?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
The maps very confusing? 2 Willows Lanes?? one running parallel wi Blackburn Rd? which it dont, it just runs up off blackburn rd, also were it is should be Dale St, which is the first st to parellel Blackburn Rd, I worked on that first section fer 6/7 years.

Right, cheers for that, just added a couple - my old local, the Langs Arms on Grant Street near the underground and the Crown, now run by the Stanley. Will add a few more when I think of 'em!
