Pubs that are no more
 

Reading this Heritage nd History Section has started me thinking, how many old pubs can you think of In Hyndburn that are no longer in use, either changed use or knocked down altogether.
I'll start of with one that closed when I was about seven
The Falcon Mill Hill Ossy

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

the palatine accrington

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

There was also the Palentine in Ossy. I think that was it's name.

I can't remember it ever being open, but I do remember the windows, which had the name acid etched on to them. It's now part of Franco's.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

There once was a time when ONLY PUBS could sell alcohol.
I recall passing the door of The Heys Inn in my childhood and a 'selling out' hatch was visible in the vestibule entrance.
The demise of public houses began when supermarkets started selling it, and the smoking ban was the last straw.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Union - Hyndburn Road

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

load of mischief..clayton

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Which is that on right hand side coming from Clayton , before you got to Accrington Vic. it was near to the little street which goes up to the Girls High school , think it's a Thwaites pub ?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Shoulder of Mutton Green Haworth Ossy

Re: Pubs that are no more

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Think it may be te Gey Horse steeljack

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

A pub that's going to reopen...that makes a refreshing change! Let us know when it does, Beechy, then I can pop in for a pre-match pint. :)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Two recent-ish closures in Ossy, the New Inns and the Foxhill.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Is there no chance of the Foxhill reopening Rindi, I get out of touch in the winter

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

thats the name , for some reason I was thinking flying horse , don't know why .
thanks guys

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Not that I've heard. It must be over twelve months that it has been closed. I bet if someone buys it they'll try and turn it into a residential property, rather than keep it as a pub.

Heard a rumour, unconfirmed, and you know what Ossy's like for gossip, that the Rose and Crown is to close as well.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

i havent seen the golden cross open in ossy, has that shut?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

That opens and closes more times than a tart's purse.:D

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

there used to be a pub across from the royal oak in ossy,many moons ago i think it was called the miners arms, but i could be wrong (about the name):p

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

oh ya know my sister then?:rolleyes::p:tongueout

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Where was it?:confused:

My family's bakery is right across the road, and I can't remember a pub.:confused:

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

next to that, where the house is on the corner, iv seen old pic, well before us accywebbers where born

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

was that a typo ??? :p

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Maybe you're right, it is a big house. I'll ask my mum.

Before my grandad bought our shop in 1946, it was owned by a baker called Sam Boots, who my grandad worked for, and before the First World War it was a chip shop, so maybe the pub would have been there then.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

aye when it does i,ll join ya wyn,if circs permit.;)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

was that not the Commercial in ossy? it is on the coner of the same name and i can recall having to take meat there when i was working in butchers and when i 1st started on a&e had a call there but thats 10years ago now lol

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Ok , Mr C, sounds good to me, maybe we can tempt Beechy over t'road!

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I found this, on the 1871 census.

329 Union Rd., Oswaldtwistle

George RILEY/head/m/38/stone mason & beer seller/Oswaldtwistle
Sophia RILEY/wife/m/40/Housework/Oswaldtwistle
Mary E RILEY/daur/9/Scholar/Oswaldtwistle
Ann RILEY/daur/6/Scholar/Oswaldtwistle
John RILEY/son/4/Scholar/Oswaldtwistle

Oswaldtwistle 1871 Census Data

Which shows you could get a pint there, but sadly doesn't have what it was called.

Re: Pubs that are no more

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Well done........:)

Have some karma.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

oh cheers garinda:thankya:, may I return the favour some day;)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Oh I hope not. :(

That's the only pub I really like in Ossy.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I hope so too, there's been enough that've closed.

I really don't think the smoking ban has helped. That was the reason why the landlord of the White Bull in New Lane, gave for getting out.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

funny story,was sat on the pub doorstep in 60s one sunday evening about 6-45 waiting for opening time with me mate, twas a winters evening bloody freezing,lol and the landlady tipped a bucket of cold water on us from the upstairs window that was over the door. think the fact i was goin out with her daughter had a bearing on that one.:rofl38:

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Reckon landladies were a lot more laidback in those days. Doreen used to quite happily serve us pints in the Globe when we went in at lunchtimes in our AGS uniforms!

Re: Pubs that are no more

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I don't rmwmber th Falcon Mill in Ossy. Where was it?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Dont think anybodys mentioned the one that used to be on the bus station on Peel St next to where the newsagents is today. You had to go up a flight of stairs to get to it, a very small bar in the early 90's? Cant remember its name though.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

right i'm goin up union rd from church commercial, was a little thwaites pub ferget the name, then church con, then rosebud, station, royal, prince of wales,horseshoe, missed printers cos its still there, then i was well blathered,but have managed the rest to the black dog.:D twas one hell of a crawl. think the first after commercial was Greyhound?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Was there a Wellington in Church?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

yep next to the bridge inn used to do disco yon in early 80s. its now an italian.;)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

That was a trick question Cashy....A distant relative of mine through marriage was the landlord......Alan Dewhurst.......He left there to take over the Boot at Burnley and then to the Hare and Hounds at Clayton where he spent many years and finally retired from there......If your still out there Alan.....make yourself known.
We both went to his brother Jacks wedding in Hoddlesden to my cousin...now sadly no longer with us....me at fourteen...Alan at sixteen really got to know the strength of real ale....we were both legless.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

You gotta be kidding me? Alan is my surrogate dad, married to Pam. He's got four kids, Chris, Mandy, Gill and Mick. I'll PM you with rest.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Can somebody do a count of pubs,( past & present ) in Clayton, from the Grayhound to the forts Arms Counting the Hyndburn. I just want to see if I was right. Beechy seems to know.

Re: Pubs that are no more

Greyhound... present.
Load of Mischief ... deceased
Hare and Hounds .. present
Volunteers .. opening again soon
Albion .. present
Oddfellows .. present
Lamb .. deceased
Wellington .. present
Old England for Ever ... present

There was a tiny one at the top of Hygiene I think, but can't remember the name .. it had a few words in the name like 'Old House at Home' ??

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Where or what is Hygiene? :confused:

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I lived in the plane tree as a very young child.. the plane tre is the original francos.(not the extension)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

It's a street in Clayton.....funny name isn't it?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

think its in Clayton , bottom end of a street called 'the Chequers' a row of old stone cottages .
backs up on to the old English Electric works

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Cheers for info, Lilly and SJ. You learn summat new everyday. What a weird name for a street. Just had a quick shufty on Streetmap and it's the only one in the country.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Yes, that is correct Steeljack .. actually think I mean Chequers ... Hygiene follows on after that doesn't it. Get them mixed up .. :o

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I think that pub on Chequers was called the Castle (a Lion pub) if I am not mistaken

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Oh, could be .. actually didn't know where the Castle and the Commercial were in Clayton. Have been in that pub on Chequers .. was very small ...just like a house really .. was that it then ?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

ya aint mistaken steeljack, i mentioned on another thread last week, about a guy that came out of castle rat arsed n walked up n walked right in the cut, a couple of times as i know off.:D

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Ok .. so the Castle was the one on Chequers, but where was the Commercial Cashy ?

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

think that was the second pub on the right hand side of Whalley Rd. after coming up the brew/hill to to the canal think the first was the Albion , then the Commercial (another Lion pub) , on the opposite side to Clayton Con club , maybe opposite or a bit higher up than the mortuary ( floaters from the canal) where the bus stop is/used to be .

Re. the Hygiene ......for some reason an old bleach/soap factory is lurking in the back of my brain . I'm thinking Accy-web member Mez may know , and if she doesn't she knows who to ask ;) ;)

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

commercial in clayton was indeed on whalley road
coming from the canal
albion..den of enequity
volunteers...for posh people
commercial...for local people
only the albion remains sadly :(

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Well thanks folks, The Comercial, my brother said is an Indian restaurant now, He said he had his first legal pint in there, it was oppisite the old Empress Cinema, that might be a printers now, and steeljack, the chemical works your thinking of, was the old Dr Lovelace soap works, the Vic Club was across the cut oppisite. Is the mortuary & council yards still there, I remember the stone bus shelter.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

About 4 doos higher up than Gayle:D Its still there only its a private house, a mate of mine owns it, its just further down than the Nash Club, you could get to it vie the Straits, turn right at the bottom, or off by where the old fire station was. the locals used to go in through the back door at the botom of Milton Street.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

the commercial kate was a little "Lions" house, turn right n cross the road when ya came off Duke Street, remember it well, finished wi a cracking lass in yon, cos the "Rovers" had sold Keith Newton.:D she never understood the "Pain" of football.:rolleyes:

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

I use to go there too, it was the only pub still open after 11 on a sun night but unfortunately forgot the name myself

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

what about the pub called the old england it was in between the castle and Chequers,

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

yep old england at home - lions house if i remember correctly. another good little hideaway.

Re: Pubs that are no more
 

Once took a "Bird" 'lovely young lady' there, and got legless and useless.
