You cheeky bar steward Don't remember the pub but of course my roving stopped in '58 or thereabouts - besides I only frequented the better hostelries - Cattle Market, Australian etc.
Did frequent North Pier quite often in my younger days - sort of hors d'ouvres before the passion wagon back to Accrington.
The Ritz was still going in 59/60 as was Bulloughs Club which was down the same entry, but turn right instead of left into the Ritz.
When did the Ritz cinema close?

It seems like there are more questions than answers in this thread.
Still, it has stimulated the grey cells of a few of us

I would agree with Cashman,my first daughter born August 60, occasional visits after then.

I base me guess on the fact i saw The Cockleshell Heroes yon when i was early teens, n the Ritz wasn't open much longer after that.

The closure is not recorded in the book A Hyndburn Chronology in 1960-63. It might be found in An Accrington Mixture, but I cannot find my copy.
