No sorry,that is one of the buildings I deemed too risky (very dilapidated)
I went to have a look but a fella was working on it putting new boards up.
He said its right hole inside,Don't know if it's true but he also said that "the local Irish community had played a part in this".

I respect your view Dave,May I ask why you choose those two buildings from the others?
Some say its stupid,other say fascinating ,either way it's dangerous and I don't recommend it.

The last buildings in Accrington Rd, Blackburn at that time were No 401,(Mrs Stavert). Redcap Plating Works, Ribble Paints & Varnishes , then the Red cap (Mr Duffy)

The brewery's name lives in in the Fountain Inn, further among Accrington Rd

The farmhouse is on the Blackburn side of the redcap Bob;)

I know this to be so as they sell pet foods and one of their relatives used to live across the road from me.

Spot on Margaret my mum used to work there when it was owned by Mr Whalley. They ended up living in a big manor type house near longridge way i went a couple of times as a lad but cant remember the name of the place.

Yes very doubtful,it closed in 2009, it was a old bass inn.
I know there was a few applications made for alteration but I think they were knocked back.Not sure :confused:.
