Yep, Stop & Rest is right next to Rhyddings Park. Pretty sure it's still open - it certainly was last time me and Cashy went in.

The Pub in Clayton i have named the Castle, is wrong Name.:o The Castle was further down and along the canal bank then on left just down Chequers, I think the mistake was actually called Commercial?? but not certain, Claytoners will know fer sure.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

I think we are up to date now and thanks for adding pubs.

I have added Great Harwood and Baxenden to the drop down list as you appear to be travelling further and further for your virtual beer :)

If you saying the building with the 'J' is Barnes Furniture, The curve in the road of the sketch shows it to be in Cannon St. where Barnes used to be, before they moved into bigger premises in Church St, past the pub, and just below the cinema entrance. In that case, the sketch was drawn before they moved. It also confirms with the position of the front door of the pub that it was on the corner of Church/Cannon St.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

Yeah Cashy, Commercial was where the Balti Stan is now.

Great pub - Had my first pint in there. Castle was indeed on Chequers.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

It was a good little pub, used to pop in occasionally in 60s, when i was going wi a great lass off Duke St. Happy Days.:)

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

I believe there used to be one down Bayley Street in Clatyon called the Village Blacksmith

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
 

No 5 Bayley St - it was there in 1952 when I Presho was licensee. Across the street was a Working Men's Club.

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
