You were pratting on on another thread about it once being The Flying Dutchman !

Anyway, I got there in the end, even if I did call it The Furriers ... well, only a vowel out, eh ?

Cloggers is now Duckworth's wool shop; don't think the property exists any more that was once the Beehive at No. 42 ? Just spare land. :p

Oi, Lurch, did me own research... the 1869 licence report I went to the library for, and printed a copy from the newspaper article, showed the door number of the said beer houses .. 'twas easy from there. Yes, do know that 1+1 = 2. :thefinger See !

Re: Old Pubs

George Broadley was the innkeeper of the Hare and Hounds in Oswaldtwistle when a man named Riley was murdered there in 1861. Are there any pictures of the Hare and Hounds? His brother James Broadley was a beerhouse keeper and had the Bold Venture in Church in 1869. Are there any pictures of the Bold Venture? Was it in Alleytroyds? thanks for the help, Marie Ball
