It was situated half way between the Grammar School on Blackbuirn Rd and 'the Underground', a passage running under the railway at the top of Grant St.

It may well have been named 'in honour' of Lang Bridge.

I cannot put my hand on my books due to being in the middle of preparing for a carpet fitter coming. My wife has been tidying up. However, if someone has access to my book 'An Accrington Mixture', it tells of a one-time landlord of the pub, Harry ?, who was an inventor, and came up with the idea of a vertical take-off 'plane, .It would have been the fore-runner of the Harrier jump-jet. He got killed on a motor bike at Rishton.
