Re: Alma Inn Baxenden
This info is from a local history walk by the Hyndburn Society.
The Alma Inn, built around 1820, believed to be named aftr a Crimean War battle. It is built on the site of the former Magpie Hall. To the rear of the pub, was Fig Pie Hall pit. Hollins Lane was the old road to Manchester prior to the construction of Manchester Road in 1790-91 by Blind Jack O'Knaresborough.
Any help?
