The traditional and popular boozers of Accrington, Burnley and Blackburn that are sadly no longer around
Whether it's meeting friends, a celebration, or even going out to eat - chances are these plans will all involve a stop off at a pub and East Lancashire is no different. The traditional boozers of Accrington , Burnley and Blackburn are ever popular with footy fans before the kick off as much as well as the gastro-pub aficionados.
The General Havelock, Burnley If you ever wanted to step foot into the real Phoenix Club from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights then The General Havelock was the best place to do it. This pub was located on Accrington Road, close to the Burnley Barracks railway station and Burnham Gate. Known for its array of Scottish weapons on display, including a claymore and a Lochaber Axe, this Market Square pub sadly had to shut its doors in the mid-1990s.
Ewood Arms, Blackburn This Ewood watering hole used to be a favourite amongst Rovers fans before their team's games. Located directly opposite Ewood Park, Blackburn, it fell victim to the late 2000's financial crisis and shut its doors in 2008. Now, after a refurbishment, the building appears to be utilised for residential purposes.
The Bridge Inn, Accrington The Bridge Inn unfortunately made headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2017 when locals complained that the derelict building had become an eyesore. The Bridge was a long-standing favourite in Accy, distinguishing itself from other pubs with its unique canonical shape. Brewers Arms, Blackburn The Brewers Arms was nestled on Great Bolton Street, Blackburn before it shut down in the 1990s. Despite its popularity, the free house was demolished in 2007 to pave the way for the construction of the Wainwright Crossing.
