Re: The Pubs of Accrington

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