There is a list of pubs in existance in 1898 on page7 of 'An accrington Mixture' which I edited & published in 1995. I don't recall where I got the information, but with the exception of the Pickup Arms, I believe the information as to locations is correct. It doesn't list clubs. Because I am not competetent on the computer, I cannot email copies, but a PM bearing your email and/or postal address will get you a copy, as it will force me to learn how to send pics. It doesn't incl;ude clubs, but I have detaails of the
clubs in existance in 1938. They boasted 7,000 members:-

King St WMC...Stephenson memorial WMC...Globe Bowling & Billiard...Accrington District Club...Burnley rd Subscription Bowling Green...Central conservative...Canine WMC...Spring Hill Bowling & WMC...Dyers' & Finishers' WMC...Poplar WMC...Central WMC...Old Band Club...Baxenden WMC...Sydney st WMC...Baxenden Conservative...Discharged & Demobilised Sailors' & Soldiers' Memorial Club...Willopw Mount WMC...Masonic Association...Grafton recretaion...Baxenden & District Golf...Amalgamated Engineering Union (A.E.U.) Club...Marlborough WMC...Huncoat WMC...Green Haworth WMC...Bold St...central Catholic...Accrington Transport & Social

I don't know where some of these were.

Can anyone tell me when Bash Con Club opened. Is it still going? Was the upstairs domestric quarters at one time?
