Too right, mate! Practically lived there in the late 60's. A frothy coffee and a few sounds blasting out of the jukebox...paradise! :cool:

I used to know the lad who ran it, he was called John, (Javani Annapo) he came from Sicily, was a great guy used to play pool with him in the Swan in the mid 70s, if I remeber rightly he took up British Citezenship.
thought it was "Chris" the owner:confused:

in all honesty never, cos it was always nearer to the pub bogs.:D

Remember when most pub bogs were outdoors? A far healthier option, in my opinion. Never any smells and it made a man out of you going out in the rain. The only problem was the lights rarely worked. Are there any outdoor bogs left in Accy/Hyndburn?

When I was going in regularly in the mid 70s, it was owned by a bloke called Alf, as in Alfonso Alaria and Javani managed it for him, Alf ran the Blue Dahlia on Blackburn boulevard and he lived in Darwen
