I have just spent half an hour reading all the posts about the Blackburn pubs past and present and realized what a sheltered life I must have led.
They all seemed to be rough old joints with plenty of undesirables frequenting them.
The only pub I ever drank in around Blackburn was the Pump House at the top of Pump street. I worked for Ribblesdale Batty Holt tours in the 60's when I arrived from over the border (Yorks) and when we had no job on the Pump House was where we could be found when the manager wanted us. The garage was at the bottom of the street.
