At the bottom of Edgar Street, across from the viaduct. A classic town centre pub in the 60s and 70s when Joyce and Eddie ran it. The atmosphere in the back room was...er...a little "exotic" to say the least!

Re: spread eagle pub

Looked pretty closed the last time I walked past a few weeks ago. They should never have got rid of the topless barmaids. :(

Does the Bold Street count even though its a WMC?

Nice try Brian, but I said public houses Bold St is a Working Mens Club, that's if you can find any in there.:D just to add to the fun how many pubs in Hyndburn can you walk all the way round in other words stand alone, no 1 the Spinning Jenny the bit they sold is still on brewery land:p

Re: spread eagle pub

Unless it can be shown on a map I don't think pomfret yard is where you say it is
I used to play in that yard at the back of the spread eagle between 1950 to say 1958 and I know that was a long while after 1901 but it was old then there where yards in quite a few locations in accy we will have to find an old map

Bold Street Club is on a street corner and not in the middle of a row.
