Don't think that is what Retlaw had in mind SJjust one question, from an overseas Accy-web user ....... is "Snakehead" a new Accrington term of affection/endearment ... to be used in place of such terms as 'Dear' and 'Luv' or even 'Mi owd cock'

Yes, of course, Steeljack ... a spin on Medusa ... if he steps out of line will give him one of my stares and turn him to stone and plonk him on a plinth in Accy Library.
Just a bit of fun ... honest.
There is a photo of the Bee Hive in 'Accrington Acclaimed' page 30.
Flamin eck Snakehead your improving, whose books have you been reading. Now youv'e got your A B C's off by heart, are you going to start doing sums next 1+1 make 2.So, 34 Bank Street finished up as the Farriers (started out as the Colliers). Wished you had come to our rescue on this thread from #49.

You were pratting on on another thread about it once being The Flying Dutchman !
Anyway, I got there in the end, even if I did call it The Furriers ... well, only a vowel out, eh ?
Cloggers is now Duckworth's wool shop; don't think the property exists any more that was once the Beehive at No. 42 ? Just spare land.
Sssssssss.

Oi, Lurch, did me own research... the 1869 licence report I went to the library for, and printed a copy from the newspaper article, showed the door number of the said beer houses .. 'twas easy from there. Yes, do know that 1+1 = 2.
See !

George Broadley was the innkeeper of the Hare and Hounds in Oswaldtwistle when a man named Riley was murdered there in 1861. Are there any pictures of the Hare and Hounds? His brother James Broadley was a beerhouse keeper and had the Bold Venture in Church in 1869. Are there any pictures of the Bold Venture? Was it in Alleytroyds? thanks for the help, Marie Ball

We certainly DID have a pub with that name Cashman. It was on the corner across from the Town Hall, and sort of facing where that curtain shop has just closed (next to Yorkshire Bank)

There you go Cashy...you're wrong, wrong, wrong. Hang your head in shame.
Anyway, I've just had a look at this site. I notice they've managed to double count the Tanpits/Plough and the Oak Tree under both Accy & Church, the Cross Guns has become the 'Crossed Guns' (now reopened, by the way) and the Navigation is listed has having been demolised in the 1960's....surely it was pulled down way before then?
