Any of you lot remember one of these? Obviously not Cashy, because he probably went in through one of the back fire doors and got slung out shortly after.

echo Cashy here , thanks Spig , great link ....I'm surprised how many I remember ..... can just about remember the Lord Nelson on Penny st. Think it had one of the first flashing neon lights the "OBJ" ...Oh Be Joyful ,would be opposite to where Reidys Music is/was .
Last time I was in the Blackburn area was 11 years ago for a family funeral and I took my kids round to show them their "roots" .... I drank here when I was your age kind of thing, and your grandad supped here and here , this was your great Grandads local etc. .........the Bastwell/Daisyfield/Little Harwood areas have sure changed.
But as they say ... you can never go back ;)
