Golden Cross
 

Hi, does anybody know what is happening with the old Golden Cross?

Re: Golden Cross
 

Saw a sold sign on it a few weeks ago but nothing since

Re: Golden Cross
 

sign of the times, its a crying shame some of these old boozers carry a great deal of memorys,(history) the golden cross was one of my early watering holes, excuse the pun, tinker,blackdog, cant even remember the names of some of them,bull up newlane, shoulder of mutton, brit, coach and horses, farmers glory, I think I maybe had a problem in my youth,

Re: Golden Cross
 

I know what's happening......Its shut

Re: Golden Cross
 

indian restaurant

Re: Golden Cross
 

I got told about 6 months ago that a group was trying to get funding for a "drop-in" style addiction centre - might all have come to nothing by now though.

Re: Golden Cross
 

Obviously we both had the same problem in our youth:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

Its always been one of those see above post:rolleyes:

Re: Golden Cross
 

I too was told it was going to be an Indian restaurant with flats above. There are a lot of speculative rumours flying round, this is Ossy after all -small town, big gob.!!

Re: Golden Cross
 

I hope somebody drops some transfer forms off so I can give them out round town :)

Re: Golden Cross
 

Yeh yer were both a couple of drunks.:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

That's a wonderful accolade coming from the aficionado of the species :p:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

Sod off we've enough hop heads knocking around Ossy already :D

Re: Golden Cross
 

What is it about Indian restaurants, and take aways...you can get 2,3,4, all next to each other on the same block, but you only ever see 1 chippy, or 1 cafe or one coffee shop......when have you ever seen 2 chippys next to each other???

Re: Golden Cross
 

I think in all walks of life they're frightened of the race card and treat accordingly

Re: Golden Cross
 

Went past this morning,all metal grills on windows being replaced by wooden ones(by new owners??)

Re: Golden Cross
 

Please do not include cashy in "they're":D

Re: Golden Cross
 

a couple of weeks ago i saw a group of asians working on the place so my money is on it been a food establishment of some sort and seen as its too big for a takeaway id go for resturaunt

ossy sure does have a lot of takeaways and resturaunts for its size but its better than poundshops

Re: Golden Cross
 

Wouldn't even dream of it:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

By the way, have you seen the old bed shop on the way in to Accy. It's being turned in to a very large pound shop. It has a large, cheap sign on the front that looks like it has been painted by the kids in a nursery school. Another very classy joint for Accrington to bring in the punters from other towns. Bring back the dark, satanic mills.!!!:do-one:

Re: Golden Cross
 

Maybe there is method in the madness. The council are going to spend the portas money on improving Blackburn Rd, so they will no doubt all get swanky new signs at no cost to them

Re: Golden Cross
 

Improve Blackburn Road:confused: An Atomic bomb would have a job on its hands improving that stretch of road:rolleyes:

Re: Golden Cross
 

If the Church Commercial is anything to go by they will just ignore it like it's not there and leave it to rot and turn into another blot on the local landscape as a reminder of better times.

This subject could be a great idea for a voting competition to A: What would you like done with the site and B: What do you expect will really happen to the site.

Re: Golden Cross
 

Work being carried out on the building opposite the commercial, don`t know what it`s going to be though. Hopefully commercial will be next.

Golden Cross
 

It probably works out cheaper than putting a poster on an empty shop so good luck to them.

Re: Golden Cross
 

I would like to see it knocked down. And the buildings at the side of it and a decent road junction created

Golden Cross
 

Hey, now there's an idea, but why stop at knocking the Cross down?

Do like they did in the highlands, knock everything down turn it over to sheep and force Ossy folk to wander to the coast to make a living from fishing?
No, that won't work, the sea's overfished already, damn two hundred years too late!

Re: Golden Cross
 

There you go 1 new shop :D

Re: Golden Cross
 

Such Olde Worlde charm, just what Accrington needs!!!

Re: Golden Cross
 

You mean Ye olde pounde shope:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

Ah but if you look at the sign more closely you will see "+" this is not just a Pound shop they have other rubbish that cost a lot more than a "£":D

Re: Golden Cross
 

So its not what it says on the tin then:D

Re: Golden Cross
 

So it should be ye olde poundS shoppe - plural.

Re: Golden Cross
 

This is not any pound + shop, this is Accringtons pound + shop.
