Thanks for the photos, I didn't often venture into Blackburn but when I worked for Batty Holts tours our depot was at the bottom of Pump street and the Pump House was our usual lunch time haunt when we wasn't on tour. Many a time the traffic manager would come in to drag us out at 2pm so we could get our coaches ready for the next tour. Steeljacks dad was one of us and he never seemed to fall down after a lunch of whisky. This, by the way, was around 1966/7
