Foxhill Pub
 

I've heard on the Grape Vine that the Foxhill Pub is reopening or already has, anybody know out about it?

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Your little chum, Cllr. Britcliffe, mooted the idea that it could be opened as a 'young peoples' pub', with no licence for alcohol.

Hopefully that idea's been put on the back burner, due to lack of funding, because of the cuts we're currently seeing.

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Hell G that's a while ago, no I believe its a full blown ordinary pub

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

I've heard the same whispers as well and seen people going in and out lately. It certainly looks like they're doing it up.

I heard that it isn't the last landlord that's opening it but the one before that - or it might be the ex landlord of another pub that's opening it - I can't remember which.

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Cetainly looked open over the weekend.

:theband:

Re: Foxhill pub
 

The sign outside read 'Opening Sept 1st' when I walked past on sunday. That is today, not tomorrow night. Typical Ossy - can't get 'owt right.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

Walked past?

Doesn't that break the terms of your ASBO, which fordids you entering the town?

You'll be going down for this.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

On some pubs re-opening they have an 'invite only' night first.
Perhaps this is happening and explains the day/date confusion.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

Can't be,I didn't get an invite.:confused::D:D

Re: Foxhill pub
 

You haven't been out for a while have you?

Nowadays, they are that desperate, even you would be welcome!

Which is The Foxhill?

Lots of internal work seem to be going on at The Bees Knees also, in St James Street, Accrington. An "auction" sign has also appeared. So something could be happening there also.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

The Foxhill pub is on Union Road, Oswaldtwistle - opposite the clinic.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

Oh thanks, didnt know where it was, but now I do. Thought I didnt recognise the name as an Accrington pub.

Re: Foxhill pub
 

Seems your notorious in Ossy too Beni:D

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

i went in last night about 9 and there was nobody in it

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

shame, was a good boozer, back in the day, problem today is its isolated, not part of a circuit anymore.:eek:

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

It was what we all knew as the old Local cashy, I used to go in through the back door, as it was easy to pop out of my home down the back and straight in, saved 5 minutes drinking time each way:D

Re: Foxhill Pub

Re: Foxhill pub

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Thanks Neil

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

The Foxhill rings a distant bell....any photos/history on it over the past 30/40 years or so.

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Its situated on Union Road Ossy Doug, opposite the end of Haworth St. was one of my locals in the 70s as a lived on Monarch St and our back doors were close:D was the watering hole for St Mary's Choir after 11 o'clock mass every Sunday they also had quite good darts teams and amateur football teams too, was a very busy little pub in those days

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Did Billy Birtwhistle take a gill in there back then. Nice bloke that lived up Sharples St.

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

doubt it doug, mosta them wouldn't be seen dead wi a gill.:D;)

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Don't ring a bell Doug, mind you it was a real local, all the regs came from nearby, very few outsiders came in, can't even think where Sharples St is, or was:confused:

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Sharples St is in Spring Hill runs off Pickup St.

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Thanks Beni, had a mental block;) Think it threw me when Doug asked if that bloke went in the Foxhill, its miles from Sharples St:rolleyes:

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Strangely enough if you ignore the Printers Arms (and most people do :eek:) it' the nearest pub to Sharples St.:(

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Ya but it wasn't in those day Beni, Pickups was on the corner of Pickup St. and Moscow Mill St. plus Springhill club was only a cock stride away;)

Re: Foxhill Pub
 

Foxhill was closed yesterday
