I lived in Hargreaves St, and passed it practically every day, my best mate lived next door.
As for the Bull on Bull Bridge it was the only Coaching Inn, in the Old Hold of Accrington back in the 1600's, it was rebuilt in the 1700's.
The landlord in 1660 was Henry Emmot, he paid 6d in taxes to king Charles, on his restoration to the throne.
