Lost Pub

There was/is a small pub on Whalley Road Clayton.
Situated near Sparth Road.
I spent many an hour in there, dominoes, darts, spud pie, with John Laing.
Could someone give me any information of one or better still both.

Re: Lost Pub

Dunno how long you've been south of the equator, Lance...but Accy/Hyndburn now has lots of lost pubs. At a rough guess, we've lost at least 50% in the last 30 years. It may even be nearer to 75%. I can't remember the one up by Sparth Road, though.

Re: Lost Pub

If you mean The Lamb Inn, it's now been converted into flats - think that The Oddfellows a couple of doors up is still open though.
Only other one I know is The Royal Oak on Sparth Road itself - not sure but I think that's also closed & up for sale

Re: Lost Pub

I'm just thinking of the pubs there are/used to be roughly from Church to Accy, along the line of Blackburn/Hyndburn Road. The ones marked with an * are now closed:

Commercial*
Thorn
X Guns
Queens*
Stag
Wellington*
Bridge
Tanpits*
Tanpits club*
Oak Tree*
Antley*
Hyndburn*
Miners*
Palatine*
Union*
Last Orders (can't remember original name)
One next door* (Globe?)
Black Bull*
Blockade*
AEU club*
Imperial
't'other one before it.
Apollo.*

Thats 16 closed/demolished out of 23, which I make 70%. It's a poor do for us drinkers.

Re: Lost Pub

Aye, it's even grimmer - I forgot about the Crown. 17 out of 24 = 71%.

I guess the Ossy list from the Black Dog to Church Commercial would be even worse.

Ooops...I missed King St Club...so including that/excluding Apollo gives the same %.

Re: Lost Pub

I think we all know the reasons...cheap supermarket booze..corner shop sales...all those inhabitants along Blackburn Road who have taken the pledge. Its such a dam shame...some fantastic Victorian and earlier architecture, now gone for good.

Can't remember the last time I had a drink on Union Road, was probably in the Cross 20 years ago, so ain't a clue which are still open, I know the Black Dog and Rose and Crown are still open, Oak Tree? New Inn? Cross? Bay Horse is open I think, Tinker? Foxhills gone, Printers? the Royal ? You wouldn't get gatted starting with a thimble full and doubling up on a Pub Crawl from the Dog to the Commercial, sad very sad:(
