Not Accrington but many of you will have driven passed this land mark pub in Haslingden before the bypass opened, it also got a mention re Churchill stopping here, at one time I think the landlord came from Ossie

"The Commercial" 1 Manchester Road, Haslingden

The Trouble with what was the Tankards wadey was parking, just wondering where they'll park their cars. As for the Roebuck was A lion house if I remember rightly, there were quite a few pubs in the centre besides the buck, Bull, Bay Horse, Commercial, Regent, The Tack (Foresters) another which I can remember right at the top of deardengate plus Trades club and the Irish Land League, now how many are still open I don't know (maybe Jen can tell us) I know the Bull is but under another name

Pub re-opening!

The Plough in Ossy will be re-opening in August following extensive refurbishment.

There are pics of the interior design on their facebook webpage - looks very swish.

Sorry Jaysay I've missed this post, The Commercial is now boarded up, The Foresters is due to re-open following a re-fit, The Crown is now The Green Squirrel, The Regent is shut and the signs removed, Trades still going strong, they were outside just after nine in the morning when I walked past ! Land League still open, The Bay Horse is shut but due to re-open and Tankards is still an Italian with bad parking, hope this helps

Would any of you lot like to stick your neck out and name the pubs that will close around Accy as a direct result of the Wetherspoon's bar opening?

Thanks for that wadey, glad to see the Trades hasn't changed is the British Legion still open across from the GPO, if that's still there, after all its 25 years since I frequented that neck of the woods

Still going strong on Lower Deardengate
