Re: old haunts
Cashman.. to get barred from the black bull is a trophy to be held high in the anals of accy nightlife.. to be barred from that establisment is to recongnise the unique and may i say gratitude of all that ventured forth in the truth that they may yet rest thr peace of knowing .. it was right.. it was the truth.

Re: old haunts
My first pub was the Stag, funnily enough. First went in there when i was 16. The juke box was at the back of the main room then, used to get up and dance and earned many a free drink that way, lol. Also managed to get in the Cav at that age too. Preferred the Golden Palms though. Free bus from Accy on a Friday night. Also used to go in the Commercial in Accy, and the Albion in Clayton.
By the way Mez, see you in the stag on Saturday!

Albion in Clayton? only a bus ride to the Blockade between Sp****s
Commercial was a classic.. springs gaping out of the seats.. do you remember it the entrance was swinging doors?

When was that? In the early to mid 60s it seemed very smart to me.

thought you didn't drink willow lol you must have had a few then, the market room was the pits,i know i never went anywhere very smart. the swinging doors were still there early 70s. with a normal door directly on the corner into the market room.

Re: old haunts
Regrettably circumstances robbed me of the opportunity of growing up and experiencing Accrington’s delights. I was often in the Cross Guns or the Thorn as a kid and then Red Lion at bedlam. But alas never as a drinker. My only claims to having old haunts were on coming over in the mid to late 70s to the Duke of Wellington on Abbey Street and the Bees knees with my father. Good memories never the less.

:engsmil: He was never in the Commercial, it only went downhill when they renamed it. Prior to that it catered for all tastes,the Market room for the shopper etc or the select 'afternoon tea etc'. Weddings funerals and christenings it was the place.

got to agree there,when they renamed it, was certainly smarter, but the character had gone forever. don't see many of those old faces nowadays, lot have croaked now but must still be some about.
