Noticed the Royal at Clayton has re-opened and looks like the Forts is about to, as a gentleman was painting the outside yesterday. Have noticed lots of cars at night parked there, like a meeting was going on or summat.

All is not lost then.

Was there a pub on the old Hynburn road just past the old bus depot back door?
I seem to remember the girl I married living very close to it and I think! the chap who ran it finished up with a couple of lorries. Memory plays tricks after all these years, it must be about 1969 I am talking about just after I moved from sunny Yorkshire.

will try again. was the "Langs Arms" on Grant st, which ran Blackburn Rd to the Underground, used to pop in on friday nights until the "Miners" decided they were better without me custom.

 

[Gremlin]

That's the place I remember, The Union. Memory is not so bad after all, I just wish I could remember the name of the chap who had it about that time.

He died a year or two ago and his coffin travelled to the crem on the back of Alan Brierley's old lorry.
