An old thread revived: I have just been given the Chief Constable's Licensing Report and report of Crime for 1936. I shall be giving it to the library, along with a few Crime reports for later years. At that time it appears that the Licensing and Crimne reports were separate. To read his licensing reports for those years, you will need to look at the Obsevers for each February, when he reported to the Brewster sessions

In March, the Thwaites Arms was closed and its Publican's (full) licence transferred to the Duke of Wellington beerhouse, Abbey St.

There were 106 licensed premises and 26 registed clubs in the borough. The population was 42,991, giving 406 to every licensed house. The club with most members was the Stephenson Memorial Club, Grimshaw st. The Massonic Club , with 516 members was next. The District Club, Blackburhn Rd had donly 38 Most clubs closed on Sundays

There were 47 Publican's (full) licences; 28 beerhouses (on); 21 beerhouses 9off); 10 other off-licences of varying sorts.

There were 164 police visits to licensed premises, resulting in one conviction for selling after time.4 males and 6 females were convicted, along with the landlord.

Between 1930 -36 the number of convictions for drunkennness averaged 26

There were 5 billards licences:- Crown Billard hall; Albion St Billard hall; The Alma Inn; Central Billard Hall, Whalley rd and the Transport Dept Club,

There were 5 cinemas. The King's Hall; The Empire; The Prince's; the Hippodrome; The Palace and the (Ritz) Picture House. The Regal, later Odeon, had not yet opened.

Bob ... does you report show the name of all the licensed premises ?
Trying to sort out in another thread what the pub was called at 34 Bank Street, well, before it closed.

[Bob Dobson]

No it doesn't. 34 is next door to the Blind Soc. You need an old Barretts Directory. My 1951 cannot help. It certainly wasn't the Bee Hive,the Oddfellows or The Abbey, so that leaves The Cloggers Arms and The Farriers Arms.

Hi Snakehead
34 Bank St became Daltons Printers used to be Farriers at one time, all this has been discussed in other threads.
There were also the Beehive & the Cloggers in Bank St, can you say what they are now.
Don't scratch your head the snakes might bite.

Retlaw.

[katex]

So, 34 Bank Street finished up as the Farriers (started out as the Colliers). Wished you had come to our rescue on this thread from #49.

You were pratting on on another thread about it once being The Flying Dutchman !

Anyway, I got there in the end, even if I did call it The Furriers ... well, only a vowel out, eh ?

Cloggers is now Duckworth's wool shop; don't think the property exists any more that was once the Beehive at No. 42 ? Just spare land.

Sssssssss.

[steeljack]

just one question, from an overseas Accy-web user ....... is "Snakehead" a new Accrington term of affection/endearment ... to be used in place of such terms as 'Dear' and 'Luv' or even 'Mi owd cock'
