I remember Bob Cotton from when we lived in Blackburn, many moons ago.
My ex was always getting on the wrong side of him, and recall him coming to our door several times asking for him. Scary guy. Just
one of the many reasons my ex has been so for 25 years.
Used to go in the Merchants late 60s/early 70s. I remember Ken Pilling. If I recall he later took another pub on the boulevard.
