The Commercial used to be very smart - it was also residential. I've got a photograph aged about 10 bedizened in a very fluffy bridesmaid's dress, on the doorstep of the Commercial, and went to many a do there. Didn't drink much in town, really, there was a pub we used to go to near the Infirmary when I was nursing, but we couldn't afford to drink that often. Went more to pubs around Whalley and the Ribble Valley - and there was a very good club in Whalley in the 60s called the Ace of Spades. We thought it was the height of sophistication!

My first haunts were The Derby on Saturday and Monday before going up the "Con" Accy Stanely Supporters Club on Sunday night, there was a teriffic Jazz Clud there in the 60s. but I used to hang out in the Bay Horse in Ossy during the week. Then when I was 18 I moved to the Stop And Rest and the Heys Inn
