I asked what was the name of the Railway Pub, before the railways were completed in Acc in 1847.

Retlaw.
I know .. that is what I was answering ..

Well, there is an old advert for The Crown Hotel, Blackburn Road, Accrington and an invoice dated 1807 headed 'The Crown Hotel Livery Stables' in B.D's book, I came to the conclusion that this may be it. Not the Crown on Whalley Road obviously. As old pictures of the Railway Hotel had a board outside advertising livery stables ... I put 2 and 2 together and probably came up with 5 ?

So what was it called ..please tell me.. grovel. Or do you not know yourself...
