Whilst the address is correct Bob, the name of the club is incorrect.

That photo will be very useful as would any others you may have. Are they easily accessible or will it require a major search.

If you are familiar with FTP I could set up an account for you to upload them or grab them from an existing web page, whichever is easiest for you.

It seems such a shame not to have a complete record of the pubs we used to drink in so that we can share our mis-spent youth with future generations.

Have put Dyers @ Finishers WMC on stanley St i believe its still open? but is not the club now, the name i dont know? someone on here will know surely and please post it, so Morecame Ex pat can alter.

Might one of you who lives in Acc go into the Town Hall to find out which office controls licensing. They may give us a composite list of licensed premises. Also they may have a file on those premises which have fallen by the wayside so that the name of the club on Dale St can be ascertained. Perhaps it was not a WMC by name.

Not my area of town, but could Dale Street club have been known as The Stephenson Memorial Working Mens Club" - why that rings a bell with me, I really don't know

[Morecambe Ex Pat]

Atarah wins today's knowledge prize of a virtual round of drinks in any one of the closed establishments.

Thanks everyone your assistance is much appreciated.

Next question - where was the Liberal Club?
Eagle Street perhaps?

[Morecambe Ex Pat]

More questions:-
Big Crown - next to viaduct on Blackburn Road
Confirm Funnies was in the same building
Was Morts licensed? - Where was that?
Should we include other licensed premises ie. Elite Snooker club etc.

Was the Dyers and Finishers further up Stanley street in what is on the map as The Stanley?

Yeh n funnies was in same building, Morts was NOT licenced, which was happen as well. Morts door was right next to the Big Crown, small doorway n up the stairs yeh went. Original Elite in Centre was never licensed.
