I never went in the pub but I did have my breakfast in the cafe next door nearly every Saturday morning when we was returning to our depot in Accrington. That would be in the late 70's early 80's.

I don't remember much about the owner jaysay, it was just a handy place to park six tankers across the other side of the road. We used to park in Bury Friday night and get our lodging money but cadge a lift home. Saturday we would get back to Bury and stop for breakfast in the cafe before we went back to the depot. Four hours at time and half and and a nights expenses tax free.
