Danny O sulllivan was his name. I think after he had it, Billy Potts from Burnley took it over for a brief spell. He used to have the Concorde pub on Burnley bus station what later became Sidewalk 54 I think. He also had the Coach & Horses in Burnley too. I knew Billy Potts. I once worked for him at the Concorde in Burnley ( I was doing him a favour at the time ) , what an experience that was. I went in the back room collecting glasses and got told off by some prostitute for being on her patch. I only worked behind the bar !:eek::eek:

I'm just wondering now....i think because the camera lens tends to shorten things a bit...The OLd House At Home..was a bit further on....but as i said, it was extended in later years to become the Cock n Bull and then Corners...
If that bit on the end in the photo, didn't become part of the pub...because thats on the corner..surely that would give credence to the name " Corners "??...So i think Sue's hit on it really...the extension to the Old House at Home ...became Corners!!
Does that sound plausible?...****** i'm off to bed now...so hopefully someone will make sense of this tomorrow!!

Best Regards - Taggy

We never learn do we.

I got mixed up with a few old codgers in my one and only visit to the Tanpits club one afternoon and they FORCED 6 pints of Kronenburg 1664 down me, but for my wife telling me what a mess I looked two days after I wouldn't have remember much.

I tried telling that to my wife but she happened to be in the club with me.
She told me the taxi driver thought he had lost a passenger on the way home but realized I had slid down onto the floor of the car.

Do you know that in about 1947 I got a certificate for writing an essay about the evils of alcohol and the effects on the human body, a few years later I thought "If it is so bad let me get at it".
Take heed all you who enter the portals of the evil establishments selling the nasty grog.

Coincidence or what ? Got chatting to my friend's window cleaner (as you do). He lives in these premises on Chequers and his wife's grandmother was the Landlady there .. name of Dot Gross.

I know .. useless information maybe ... but the question will probably come up in the future when Cashy is reminiscing... :D
