Was having a chat this week about the "24 hour drinking hours" that were brought in a few years ago. What is the longest drinking hours around Accy??? Most pubs down here have the longer drinking hours licence but none stay open much after 11pm!!!!! One for you Jaysay! Talking of which I remember getting on the bus to drink in Whalley because they stayed open half an hour longer!!!

But the Calder - like Wetherspoons establishments - is a bar, not a pub.

The Tanpits , in Tanpits Rd,was on the very boundary of Accrington & Church. It linked Wesley St ( Antley Meths) to Henry St. For a brief spell a few years ago, it had a new name, which I have forgotten. There was (is?) a WMC behind it.,Have forgot the name.
The pub's and the street's name muist have some connection with the tanning of leather many years ago.
