Re: Yate's Wine Lodge Blackburn

The little crooked street at the top of Church st. where the Sun and Swan (on left side) was Astley Gate (I think ) Sames Vault was on the opposite side, if you carried on, it then it took a 'dog- leg" to the top of King st. and Northgate was on your right (heading to the Police Station) . Heading along Northgate, a couple of streets went off to your right and went thru to King William st. and the original Yates wine lodge was on one of those , cant remember if it was before or after the Dun Horse ( I thought the Dun Horse was higher up, nearer to and more opposite the Police station , but before you got to the old Co-op emporium ).

slight wander...think the Dun Horse was " Gods waiting room" for the old prossies coming to the end of their working lives

Hope that made sense , cause now I'm getting confused
