i have been reserching the pub i live in (spreadeagle) and ive been trying to find out how long its been a pub etc,i have been to accy libray and found out a bit more (thanks to catherine ) ive found out there were beer houses and public houses,i also found out that in 1947 the spread was still a beer house and the landlord was a william holmes does anyone remember him or the pub being a beer house,and not a public house?( the differance is that a public house can sell spirits and a beer house only sold beer)and has anyone got any photos of this part of blackburn rd?or any info on the pub?i also found out that in 1888 the rear of the pub was called pomfrets yard has anyone heard of this or what was its use ?
and if anyone likes a knees up were having one on paddys night as the landlady (sheila)has been in the pub 8yrs on that night,everyone is welcome.
