Blackburn bus station

I suspect this might have come up before but I'm too lazy to look!!
What was the name of that small coffee bar near the Blackburn Bus/rail station. You passed near to it on the way to the Mecca. The reason Iìm asking is that I just came across "Mr Tambourine Man" and the first time I heard this song I was in that bar. Anyone help??

I could but I'm too lazy to bother, a quick search might find it, if you try a little harder.

Why do people admit to being lazy then expect someone else to do the work for them?

The KJ Coffeehouse, Susie. First coffee bar I ever went in in 1964 at the tender age of 13. Also, much frequented by Al Gilmartin.

In the seventies it changed its name to The Blue Dahlia and was owned by the same bloke who owned the one in Accrington town centre of the same name, the guy was called Alfonso Alaria, I got to know him because I mated out with the lad who managed the Accrington cafe, Javani Anapo, came from sicily originally

Oh, Less, it's been so long since you had a go at me I have actually missed you.
Actually you are quite right, shouldn't expect others to help but I'm grateful they do.

I only remember it from the seventies.
I was a student nurse and sometimes would go in and have a coffee while I waited for the bus up to QPH.....the chap who had the place would never take any money for my coffee and always gave me biscuits as well.
Years later as a staff nurse I looked after his mother...he greeted my like I was a long lost relative.

I had a wry smile whilst posting it, believe me, that wasn't me having a go at you.

(another wry smile).
