Haha .. I pulled up that bit from the Gt. Harwood history site too. Even looked in Shurmer's guide of 1988, but not listed ... only Baggie's wine bar, which I think was on the other side ?

Hurry up and get the answer please, driving me potty too. :blink8:
Don't think that would be advisable kate will PM you

Thanks hun.

I won't call. It might seem a bit odd.

Hopefully with all the new info, someone might now remember the name.

Ok... sorry.

I know a lady of 82 who has lived almost across the road from the Co-op building in Glebe Street for many, many years with a most remarkable memory. If all else fails, will give her a ring.

Did you ever go to it Katex?

It's just the sort of place you theatrical types might have had an end of show party.

My local historian can't remember the two-word French name off the top of his head either but recalls it to be at the corner of Lower Fold and Church Street opposite youth club.

I should have a name by the end of today.

Wasn't that one called 'Tiffany - A Restaurant'? The proprietor was American I think.

Ya cashy the good old Judge was a great pub in the 60s, went in regularly as I was serving my time (that's apprenticeship Garinda:)) in Whalley, there was another did the old Chicken and Chips in a basket at Wiswell, but can't remember its name:confused:
