Re: Pubs in Oswaldtwistle

Thanks for the list of pubs in Union Rd. JellyBaby. I served my apprenticeship to drinking up Ossy and have some good memories of them good old days. Can you tell me if there was a pub down Straits I think it may have been called The Falcoln. It was closed down when I used to go up there.

Shlurple the Purple - Vimto History

The inventor was born in Blackburn, but as Margaret says his firm was in Manchester.
