With all the new housing around that area you would think they could attract decent custom. Supermarkets to blame.

I was in there for a do last year, and the place was looking very shabby. I’m saddened, but not surprised to hear about this.

It's a bit Catch 22 as they fall into decline, people won't go because they are outdated and rough looking so there isn't any money to improve things.
Had many a good night in the Canteen but sadly a long time ago now.

Re: Lowerhouse Canteen closes
It’s been on its last legs for years, I’m amazed it lasted as long as it did.
Lane ends gets busy these days despite being a little rough around the edges.
Mullards & the George are dead as was the Dugdale before it shut down. 99% of those I see complain in posts on Facebook when they close, never drink in them anyway

Burnley A v Barnoldswick Town at Lowerhouse Canteen, April 1923........Tommy's final curtain call........A bumper crowd of nearly 2,000 turned out at the Canteen for Tommy's last game in Claret & Blue, probably the largest ever gathering at the venue.
Re: Lowerhouse Canteen closes
It's opened up again under new management is been done up looks so much cleaner smells better now too. They open every day now from 12 onwards. You'd be surprised how much it's changed

Re: Lowerhouse Canteen closes
I popped into two bars in Barlick yesterday there were two fellas in the second one ...I sampled a half of whatever the Barman recommended at £4.50 I realised why there were only two in.I went Back to the first one... Having exited swiftly the first time as it was empty... Thinking it might be busier it was...three people around the Bar. Strange Place is Barlick!

Re: Lowerhouse Canteen closes
Strange when Barlick is so near to Barley you would think they might get some of the overspill.
It would help with resident parking in Barley do the economy of Barlick some good and stop said residents moaning on here.
Win win win.
