The pub woulda been the "Richmond" another Thwaites House that bit the dust, have a funny story about seeing Tommy Franks perform yon in the 70s, but not wise to put it on here.

Would imagine one of the longest serving landlords well Dave and Sue Johnson, who are now in the Peel Park, before that they had the Grey Horse and the Bridge in, must have been licensees in Accrington for 30 years plus now
