There was also a pub/beer house at No. 12 Bridge Street (on the other side further down than Garth Dawson's which is No. 6) called The Jolly Sailor.

Then, of course, there was the one on the corner of Bank Street/Little Blackburn Road, which was The Oddfellows. Is this still the bookies ?
It would be on Bridge Street. The end gable being on Blackburn Road, and now the music shop front.

If you go on Google Street view you can see it, including an odd, filled in window.

Thanks for trying to satisfy my curiosity. x
