Re: Bull Inn, Cocker Brook?

I've looked through the censuses for 1841 to 1901. The Bull Inn was known as the Black Bull Inn by 1901. It was situated near to the junction of Haslingden Old Road (A677) and Cobbs lane. Cocker Brook also flows past this point. There was also a Cocker Brook School at this crossroads.

I don't think the Black Bull Inn operates as a pub any more but using Google Earth and an old map from 1848 it is possible to see the building that was the Inn. I have attached a copy of the maps.

cheers
