Bosscat

[IanMcL]

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!

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)

Still is Dark C but must admit the beer could be improved ... Craig is stocking "Moorhouses Premier" but we would prefer "Taylors Boltmaker" hey ho

Bosscat,did a guy called Colin Foster used to own the boars head many years ago?

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

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

Wasn't Colin F son in law to the Ronsons who had the pub mid 80's ... Colin was at Burnley general if memory serves Nursing Admin ... but I might be mixing folk up

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!

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.
