The Black Abby was my pub. In 1965 I had my 21st there and it was also the meeting place for the Accrington Caving Club, later to become the Northern Exploration Group. The Accy lads joined with a breakaway group of cavers from the Burnley Caving Club and some from the Northern Speleological Group, based around Blackburn. We move our meeting place/pubs several times to Padiham and Burnley before getting a Caving Hostel in Ingleton around 1965. I moved up to Ingleton in the Dales just after I got married around 1974/75 and still live there.
