The Pickup's Arms...what a great pub! When I worked on the bins, our weekly round finished at the end of Pickup Street on the old Accy Borough boundary. The week's work was conducted at a brisk pace, so that we had usually comcluded our toils by Friday lunchtime. Any scrap metal picked up along the way was taken to a dealer on Back Burnley Road to supplement funds for our Friday afternoon "session" in the pub. Everyone partook of a few pints, then it was back to Moreton Street to clock off. Wouldn't be allowed these days and quite rightly so, but, eeh, it were a crackin' pint!
