The Tanpits , in Tanpits Rd,was on the very boundary of Accrington & Church. It linked Wesley St ( Antley Meths) to Henry St. For a brief spell a few years ago, it had a new name, which I have forgotten. There was (is?) a WMC behind it.,Have forgot the name.
The pub's and the street's name muist have some connection with the tanning of leather many years ago.
