Re: The Pubs of Accrington

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?
