I am wanting to admit that Retlaw is correct. He often, but not always, is.
He seldom is temperate in presenting his pints,preferring to accuse others of blinkered viewing and playing mind games. If he didn't have some good qualities I would go round and break his windows.Them as lives in glasshouses......
You and who else Dobo, I'l have you for threatening behaviour

Between the Railway Hotel and the Spread Eagle was another pub, though I don't know when it was built Not as early as the Spread Eagle I think. It was called The Albion ( Albion St is nearby) but since the 1870s (?) it has been called the Imperial.

Your not joining the gang with the childish behavour of na na na nana prove it, and because you don't know where to look, and didn't find it first I'm wrong. Grow up.

Along Blackburn Rd/St, since it was built in 1827,
there has been 13 pubs, ale houses, call them what you will, in some sort of order are as follows.

Albion, Antley, Commercial, Crown, Free Trade. Gardners Arms, Hyndburn, Nags Head, Odd Fellows, Roundabout, Seven Stars, Thwaites Arms, Volunteer Arms and last but not least Ring o Feathers.

Remind me to ignore next time your in the Library. By the way read post 160 the building is a near enough copy of the Red Lion in Abbey St, but the opposite hand. When Blackburn Rd was built the stage coaches changed their route and no longer went past Court Farm to the Warner Arms, but stopped at the Spread eagle instead.
