I diodn't know that. I dfon't think it did was I was a regular, drinking bitter and 'nips' in the late 50s/earl;y 60s. The pub was one of the Bentley's Milnshaw Brewery chain before Bentley sold it to John Smith's in 1924, along with: The New Brewery,The raailway (Huncoat).the Junction (that' probably a reference to the same blockade)The Cattle Market, The Abbey and the Borough Arms in Oak St , some off-licences, some house proeprties and a few pubs out of Accrington.
