Im being maudlin here

I've just come out of the Rising Bridge Inn which has been my local for well really all my life. I've been going in there for 30 years with my mum & dad at first, then when i was 16 going in on my own. Anyway its going to be an indian restaurant and tonight was its last night before its being turned into the indian restaurant. It was also the last night of the pool and we were at home for our last match.

We are all going to miss the Rising Bridge. The nearest pubs are down Bash or in Haslingden or the Farmers Glory coming downs not bad you dont feel it but getting there in the first place hiking up that hill..............

If you look on the old maps of Rising Bridge - the earliest one i have got is 1829 and the Rising Bridge Inn is marked on there. Thats a long time for a pub.
