Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Ya Wyn by 69 I'd graduated to my pipe and slippers mode in the Stop:D

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Dunno about pipe and slippers mode, mate - on the occasions when I ventured into the Stop with the old fella, it could get quite lively down the "deep end" with the likes of Jimmy Lord, Bill White, Brian Wiggy, Jimmy Booth etc! ;)

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Typical Thursday night stroll 1976 stylee-

Start off in the Langs Arms, play a few Charlie Rich records on jukebox ("Say, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world...")
Down Frederick Street to the Palatine...always a very attractive young lady with short dark hair propping up the bar in here, but the Burnley scarf put me off. :D
Down to Hyndburn Road, marvel at the wooden chain in the joiners' shop window (how did he make it out of one piece of wood?), into the Union, have a warm by the fire (in winter).
Back up to Blackburn Road and the Globe, have a chinwag with Doreen.
Return to Langs Arm for last orders.
Through the "underground" and up to Leonard's for a fish 'n' chip supper.
Those were the days...when I considered 5 pints just a light mid-week training run! ;)

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Hell those names brought back some memories Wyn, alas Wiggy and Jim Booth are no longer with use, but I still see Wiggy's wife she has the flat opposite me

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Yep, the craic was good in there, wasn't it, Jaysay? Sometimes preferred to go in there with my old feller than go downtown! :D

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Leonard's chipy thats class .nowt better than a chippy supper 4 slices of bread. mmm I can taste the pea juice now.

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

I use,t to go to the foxhill when it was open,but now i won,t drink anymore becuse the med,s iam on,but its fun seeing the other ones going up and down the road that,s had a few beer,s

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Yeah, it was good having Len's as the local chippy. Others walked for miles just to taste 'em. Not a good part of town for pubs, though. Never really felt comfortable in the Richmond and the Willow Mount was OK, but obviously not a proper pub. That's why I liked to have a little wander to have a drink!

Re: Accrington Pubs
 

Went in Grants Bar on saturday night. Looks very nice with plenty of people in but the price of the beer was a bit over the top
