As I left home very early and made good time, I took the scenic route to Burnley, via Long Preston.
I saw the Maypole and the Whore's Bed pubs but not any residence with a plaque saying Chez Bosscat!
Nor did I catch sight of LP Peggy and her drummer boys!
Then I watched Burnley!

Re: Bosscat
Maypole is a good pub (or certainly used to be, but I haven't visited in a while!)

My blue plaque property not on the main road Ian To avoid all the hordes of adoring fans (and those who wish to chuck stuff ) The Boars (Whores Bed) Head has just been sold and is in the hands of a developer (probably not to re-open as a pub but turned into housing/ flats) LP Peggy was a Rathmell lass (t'ther side o t'valley)IanMcL wrote: βSun Mar 03, 2024 8:09 pmAs I left home very early and made good time, I took the scenic route to Burnley, via Long Preston.

Still is Dark C but must admit the beer could be improved ... Craig is stocking "Moorhouses Premier" but we would prefer "Taylors Boltmaker" hey hoDark Cloud wrote: βSun Mar 03, 2024 8:12 pmMaypole is a good pub (or certainly used to be, but I haven't visited in a while!)

Re: Bosscat
Bosscat,did a guy called Colin Foster used to own the boars head many years ago?
Re: Bosscat
Used to drop into The Maypole on the way back from weekends in The Dales. Used to have a Gorf machine in there (or maybe Defender). Long time ago
Re: Bosscat
Defender now you are going back a few years ... they replaced the Space Invaders (I used to get top score on that and free pints weekly) with pacman then the defender machine that one I was rubbish at
Re: Bosscat
Yes,that's right,he was a good all round sportsman as well,used to play football and cricket against him. Cheers
Re: Bosscat
I used to knock about with Colins brother-in-law Trevor Ronson around 40 yrs ago if memory serves he worked at Wardle Storeys in Barlick but it is like I say around 40 yrs ago

I should have known you would have been in an exclusive part, Bosscat. Had to take my litter with me!Bosscat wrote: βSun Mar 03, 2024 8:19 pmMy blue plaque property not on the main road Ian To avoid all the hordes of adoring fans (and those who wish to chuck stuff ) The Boars (Whores Bed) Head has just been sold and is in the hands of a developer (probably not to re-open as a pub but turned into housing/ flats) LP Peggy was a Rathmell lass (t'ther side o t'valley)
Pity about the pub loss.
As for LP Peggy, Rathmell Peggy doesn't have the same ring to it!
Always next time! I'll keep an eye out for the plaque.
