Thanks Susie good job

Bob Dobson's post half closes it out regarding the Blockade converting to a John Smiths pub.

Besides Bentley's, who sold out to John Smith's about 1927, we had the Bank Brewery up Burnley Rd, and a member in Germany is likely to tell us something about that.His ancestor was head brewer there.

Some years ago I wrote about Bentley's Brewery and their local pubs ( The Junction, the Blockade and a few others,) in 'An accrington Mixture' I cannot find it on my shelves or I would write a bit more now.

I guess I will waitsee for my pal to come up with the Thwaites book.
