I'm with you on this Margaret, always knew the Stag in Church was on Bank St, and me too don't remember a pub of that name on Bank Street Accy and it was on my route as spotty kid down from Woodnook to the bus station to catch the bus to Accy Tech in the 50s/ 60's. Possibly it existed before then but I think not.

And I'm with you too Gordon on the urban myths prevalent in most towns about tunnels. The Abbey was reputed to have a tunnel going all the way to Whalley Abbey, now that would have been a major engineering feat. More credence to a tunnel between the Abbey alehouse and the Grange up on Abbey Street but it's never been verified.

A trip to the reference library Friday beckons I think.
