There were 5 houses on the block between the St Leger and Cobham Rd

Whilst the address is correct Bob, the name of the club is incorrect.

The Pubs of Accrington
 

Hello Morecambe Ex. This photo any use for you from 2003 - The Woodnook, now of course turned into a family home. I do have a lot of pub photos, I once had a website and had a section on pubs

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

What is the correct name?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

That photo will be very useful as would any others you may have. Are they easily accessible or will it require a major search.

If you are familiar with FTP I could set up an account for you to upload them or grab them from an existing web page, whichever is easiest for you.

It seems such a shame not to have a complete record of the pubs we used to drink in so that we can share our mis-spent youth with future generations.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

I wondered that, everyone i ever knew called it Dale St Club.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Have put Dyers @ Finishers WMC on stanley St i believe its still open? but is not the club now, the name i dont know?:confused: someone on here will know surely and please post it, so Morecame Ex pat can alter.:)

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Might one of you who lives in Acc go into the Town Hall to find out which office controls licensing. They may give us a composite list of licensed premises. Also they may have a file on those premises which have fallen by the wayside so that the name of the club on Dale St can be ascertained. Perhaps it was not a WMC by name.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Not my area of town, but could Dale Street club have been known as The Stephenson Memorial Working Mens Club" - why that rings a bell with me, I really don't know

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

You've certainly rung the bell Atarah.
You are perfectly correct

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Ah yer right,Atarah i remember now, yeh aint as senile as me.:D

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Atarah wins today's knowledge prize of a virtual round of drinks in any one of the closed establishments.

Thanks everyone your assistance is much appreciated.

Next question - where was the Liberal Club?
Eagle Street perhaps?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

More questions:-
Big Crown - next to viaduct on Blackburn Road
Confirm Funnies was in the same building
Was Morts licensed? - Where was that?
Should we include other licensed premises ie. Elite Snooker club etc.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Was the Dyers and Finishers further up Stanley street in what is on the map as The Stanley?

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Yeh n funnies was in same building, Morts was NOT licenced, which was happen as well. Morts door was right next to the Big Crown, small doorway n up the stairs yeh went. Original Elite in Centre was never licensed.
