Bad Pub Guide
 

Name and shame in here :D

Mine goes to the cabin End at Knuzden, used to be a really good place about 20 year since, used to go over regular on a Sat night.
Now - a disgrace
Filthy, run down (derelict might be a better term :D) and ale I couldn't drink :mad:
If it wasn't for the amount of people in the function room I can't see how they would have made any money last night, they had a karaoke in the pub part and half a dozen people sat round one table in there all night :eek:

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Was gonna have a walk to the red cap at one point, then decided on the pub at the bottom of Stanhill lane, can't remember its name Sun? Star? but was raining so changed my mind

Re: Bad Pub Guide

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Is that Church or Accy?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

One thing I just remembered about the cabin end.
The ceiling had red material fastened to it, looked like a padded headboard, circles cut out of it where the lights were, weren't finished off or owt, just a big hole cut in it, they even forgot to cut holes in a few of the lights, would love to see if that met the fire regulations :D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

And did I mention they didn't sell Guinness :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad:

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

accy:)

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

i reckon a much smaller book would be a "Good Pub Guide".:D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Back in the late 60s and early 70s this place was one of THE pubs to be seen in, packed out most nights!!!

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Used to practice there with a band in the seventies and was always a great Friday night with some really great hard rock bands, was always on the Friday night round trip better known as the Boys Night Out:D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Thats how I rmember it in the 1960s, a great pub.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Perhaps this planning application should have been a clue K.S.H. :D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Wasn't the pub called the Crescent at one time ?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

The Crescent is on Bank Lane/Shadsworth Road in Blackburn

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

If you google it ... comes up with 'Millers' on one entry ... is it called this now then ?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Can anyone tell me the name of the Pub by Church Kirk - I used to go in there with my Dad after watching cricket at West End, walked back along the canal. Best pint of Thwaites i can remember - there was a stream flowing through the cellar and the sacks were draped over the barrels and into the stream - the beer was so cold.
There was also a Duttons pub further down - about half way to the Queens.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Thorn, the one half way to the Queens is the cross guns

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Thanks KSH, I knew it was the wrong thread but thought that if you all knew the bad Pubs you would know the good ones too

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

ye its the knuzden brook, my uncle runs it, and my dad works in it . Ive been in a few times recenty its pretty good.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I was gonna as if there is still some good pubs left in the area or should I just stay here

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Posted via Mobile Devicewell according to the 3 unwise monkeys + 1 the railway is good.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

We never said the Railway was good just cheap:tongueout

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

So your just working on the premise there's no bad bear mick, just that some are better than others, or cheaper as the case may be:D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

No bears allowed Jay.Only stuffed ones.:D:D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Got me again Beni:D

Re: Bad Pub Guide

Accrington: The Adelphi, Avenue Parade.

Blackburn: The Plane Tree, Whalley Old Road; Sportsman’s Arms, Shear Brow; Gibraltar, Gibraltar Street.

Colne: The Commercial Hotel, Skipton Road.

Darwen: The Mill Gap, Bolton Road; The George, Bolton Road.

Padiham: The Victoria Hotel, Burnley Road.


Eight Thwaites pubs in East Lancashire put up for sale (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

and they would be correct , what a sh1t hole that place has become it used to be a great pub with a mix of allsorts and good live entertainment when it was on

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

The Hyndburn Bridge. Popped in there for a teatime pint with a mate of mine after a full day doing the accounts and it was diabolical. The pub and furnishings, although not being in bad repair, just screamed out of some punters and something to make it inviting. Lighting the log fires is a surefire winner. The beer wasn't kept properly and the landlord seemed not to want our custom. We left fairly quickly.

Now The Royal in Great Harwood.....proper pub!

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I can't remember the last time i went to a 'good pub'. Cheap alcohol in shops don't help... whatever happened to community socialising??

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Went out Te window with the demise of the tap room in favour of wide open spaces, plastic flowers and piped background music:(

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I would like to add to this list.

I suspect it is the Stop and Rest, even though the Heys Inn is nearer to me.

Their locals are attempting to sing karaoke style and they can be clearly heard across the space between me and them, which happens to be the size of 4 football fields.

Any pub that permits such levels of bad noise isn't a good pub:(

PS It must be a pub - a home barbie would have already been told to 'shut it' by neighbours.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

PPS - gone quiet now - someone must have complained - not me - I was still looking for their phone number.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

There has been an event on at Rhyddings Park, would it not have been that ?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Maybe - that is a little further away !

I have just added another good reason for moving to my list -
only 8 days left here :D

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I sincerely apologise to the Stop and Rest pub.

Rhyddings Park, Oswaldtwistle

"Alan Davey, Chief Executive, Arts Council England said: ‘Our Big Gig will be a real summer highlight. Up and down the country, communities will be involved in running their own music events, in a range of venues, introducing audiences to new bands, artists and styles of music. This is a great opportunity for communities to think big, to nurture home grown talent, and to come together, in celebrating the many joys that music can bring. I can’t wait to see the results.’

It was a 'music' event:rolleyes: - though that 'event' should have ended over 2hours ago.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I thought it started at 12 - the crafty bits, funfair etc till about 4pm and the music didn't start till 3.30pm till 6pm ... I heard gayle on the radio earlier on with Stephen lowe ...

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

It just sounded like very bad karaoke to me - the 1st link I gave said
"Sun 14 Jul 2013 12:00 - 16:00"

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I wish members would get there facts right BEFORE posting

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Ok - remove my posts then.

How could I have expected public/council sponsored and 'rates paid for' 'music' to be THAT BAD !

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Probably the music wasn't so bad Margaret, just another sign that you are getting old;)

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I am not entirely outdated.

Of my three grandsons, two are into 'trendy music' - one is a drummer in an indie rock band, and the other composes electronic music, has had tracks recorded and they sell - and I like to hear them !

I know when singing is out of tune, just as I know how to cringe when a blackboard gets scratched.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Last year in Morecambe almost every weekend there was live music on the prom for most of the day about half a mile from where we live. Most of it THAT BAD and we couldn't get away from it even at that distance. Hasn't started again this year yet, probably will when the school holidays are in full siwng. OK yes I admit it I'm getting old.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

When I heard it, I thought that it was someone in a car below my window - that loud - really !

I am 4 football fields away - how people who live on Fielding Lane reacted, I dread to think.:eek:

Summer should not be an excuse to cause noise nuisance - we have laws against it, don't we?

PS this was 'music' in the same way as 'crotcheted spirals' was art.:rolleyes:

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I was sat outside the Stop & Rest and the music wasn't loud even though the band were next to the pub.

Where are you moving to that is silent with no pollen?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

You may have 'industrial deafness'.

"The distance of travel of any sound depends on several factors. Some of these are:

1. Wind direction [sound waves are enhanced downwind of the source.
2..Temperature of the air [the cooler/denser the air is, the greater the travel distance].
3. Within some limitations, higher humidity will enhance the travel distance of sound."

"The distance that sound wave can travel and be heard is also a property of the air's temperature gradient. When the air near the ground is warmer than the air at higher elevations, then sound refracts (or bends) upward. Similarly, when the air is cooler near the ground (or water surface) than at higher elevations, the sound refracts (or bends) downward."

Distance travelled can vary according to environmental factors

BBC NEWS | Magazine | Can sound really travel 200 miles?

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

Whereas, the annoyance factor of such an event is equal to or greater than the enjoyment derived from complaining about something that was enjoyed by a lot more people, it's been and gone, why not get back to counting pollen or whatever you normally find to https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...mvZvPopDfRKrXg about.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

I was sat between the band and you and could have thrown an ass tray at the band I was so close (if pubs still had them)

As for my hearing, I have been tested annually since I first started working at 3 different companies and don't have any problems

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

So it just 'went over your head' ;)

"When the air near the ground is warmer than the air at higher elevations, then sound refracts (or bends) upward"

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

You forgot to mention the effect of frequency in your dissertation.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

No it didn't, I just don't moan because something is going on where people could enjoy themselves free for a few hours with friends and family outside in the sun.

Re: Bad Pub Guide
 

always been a dump has the cabin end.It could be done up as i dont think most of the locals round that area would ever use it,in the state that it is in
