Talking with my mother today, we think that Uncle Jimmy (Wilkinson) was the landlord from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was a tattler (?) in a cotton mill but had a heart condition so became a pub landlord instead! He lived on Ashworth Street, Baxenden until he died in his 80s. Somewhere we have a photo of him and his mother behind the bar in the Alma. I think that he told me that the pub had small rooms which had been knocked through after he left. Doesn't anyone remember him or has too much time gone by?
