Re: Yate's Wine Lodge Blackburn
If any of you folks are interested, a few of us have spent the last 18 months or so trying to get a photo of every Blackburn pub there ever was. Just go onto Facebook and search for a group called ''Blackburn Pubs (Past & Present)'' We've done pretty well so far, but there's still the elusive 100 or so that we haven't got (the old Wine Lodge on Lord Street being one of those).
If you have any photos of the old Wine Lodge, we would love to include it ;) We have all the others you mention, Grosvenor, Sun, Swan, Clarence, Queens, Dun Horse, Castle, Old Bank, Merchants, Legs 'O Man, Wheatsheaf, Ribblesdale, George & Dragon. Also have a look at my site sometime BLACKBURN PAST I have a few pubs and pub related photos on there. Have a look under 'Miscellaneous' too, as there's a couple of slide shows I put together and there's a few of the old pubs crop up on those. |

I remember the name Leo from the Rib, but can't picture him. We only used to go in at the weekends though. The George & Dragon is also in the same photo you mention of the Ribblesdale (it's now the loading bay area for M & S) I saw an article in the Telegraph the other night about the Queens in Accy being turned into a doctors surgery. Nice job by the look of it. The ex pubs in Blackburn have either been left to rot or turned into private houses. Can't say I ever went in the Queens but it looked a grand building. If you follow my Youtube link, it should take you to another similar slide show I made. Or just type in Blackburn Easter 1963 (In My Life by The Beatles) |
Re: Yate's Wine Lodge Blackburn
