I was a committee member at the Pioneer club for a few years, and there were other ladies on the committee too.

Not actually Blackburn Rd. Accrington but Blackburn Rd. Rising Bridge, Many years ago there used to be a pub at bottom of Hazel Street (opposite Hollands) does anyone know what it was called or how I can find out, It was probably more than 60 years ago. (Maybe this should be in Questions and answers but just posted in the forum on pubs.)

Is that the one just past the traffic lights, almost opposite Warner Street?
