No mention of the Woodnook ( farting donkey to the locals) on the corner of Marsden Street and Carter Street

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

A added the Woodnook Inn yesterday afternoon.
Where on earth did it get the nickname 'farting donkey'?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

A sign on floor in the yard early 60s said it, i was told in yon mid 60s?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Thanks for the additions - sorry if it gave you a bit of a headache :)

I was born not far from The Woodnook and it is nice to know a bit of history.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

What was the name of the pub at the top of Willows Lane near Lynch's?
I seem to remember another on Blackburn Road - Oak Tree?
Is Dale Street WMC still there?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Oak Tree was just past Antley inn on opposite side towards Church just past Antley Garage. top willows lane was Red Lion.;)

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Have just tried to put Antley Inn in its correct position n it tells me "Sorry its already listed" i give up.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Adding another Antley Inn would create a duplicate, that is why it stopped ya.

Where should it be?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

First Corner of Newark St n Blackburn Rd. coming from accy.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Is that position not correct?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Yep correct now, it says new.:)

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

The maps very confusing?:confused: 2 Willows Lanes?? one running parallel wi Blackburn Rd? which it dont, it just runs up off blackburn rd, also were it is should be Dale St, which is the first st to parellel Blackburn Rd, I worked on that first section fer 6/7 years.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Right, cheers for that, just added a couple - my old local, the Langs Arms on Grant Street near the underground and the Crown, now run by the Stanley. Will add a few more when I think of 'em!
