Those of us of a certain age and above will fondly remember the days before the demise of so many of our local pubs
Shortly after I started at the upper school of Westholme in Blackburn in 1995 my mum announced we were moving.
Once we moved in, on the weekdays which I spent with my mum I would get off the school bus on Preston New Road and walk up the steep but thankfully short section of Leamington Road, before pushing open the pub doors. One of the other perks of living in a pub was the regular delivery of marketing freebies from the brewery. These included beer-branded t-shirts, toys, gadgets, beach towels, umbrellas and more.
Once a week the pub would host pool, darts and dominoes matches, and I would muck in to make trays of sandwiches for the players and anyone else who was in the pub, unless my mum was feeling particularly generous and splashed out on hotdogs. The aforementioned location of my bedroom meant that I would regularly be woken up by noisy punters leaving the pub late at night. And there was the occasional fight which I would watch with trepidation from my window.
