Yorkshire Street
The Bulls Head Inn Stood on the corner of Yorkshire Street and Burnley Road. Henry Baron was the first landlord to be shown. In 1910 Messrs Baxter's of Glenn Top Brewery made an application to have the Bulls Head demolished building in its place a new Hotel. The new Hotel would be known as the.
King George. The new hotel opened at 3pm on Friday 6th December 1912, and closed as a Public house in October 1983.
The Angel Hotel Had stood at the bottom of Lane Head Lane since 1790. With no coach house but stabling of 3 stalls it was a popular choice for travellers in it's heyday. But in 1925 when the owners at the time Grimshaw Brewery of Burnley applied for a renewal of drinking licence it was rejected. Reasons being given for the rejection was that the hotel was hard to supervise by police and landlord and was in a sad state of repair. The Angel consisted of two floors, the bedrooms were said to be very damp the flooring on the upper levels to be very shaky. The entrances to the clubhouse was dark and should a fire occur it would be a death trap. By the time the Angel closed on 3rd October 1925 it had held a drinking licence for 135 years. Census 1841-1871
Queens Hotel Another of Bacup's oldest drinking houses built in 1887. The Queens Hotel was accommodated with stabling consisting of 5 stalls and a coach house. Refurbished in 1966.
White Horse Inn The White Horse Inn was considered to be a new beer shop in 1868 and was described as a quaint looking building which had been used as a licenced Public House. On the sign over the front door was painted a rhyme which read: The White Horse will beat the Buck, And make the Angel fly, The Staggering Man upon it's back, Knock out the Dragon's eye. The White Horse closed in 1912.
Hare & Hounds The present day home of the Bacup Natural History Museum was originally built in 1808. The main entrance was from Yorkshire Street with a small side door leading of into Newgate, with another door at the back. The bar was opposite the front door with a taproom and bar on the ground floor. On the upper floor there was a clubroom and two bedrooms. The house was said to be very low and dark throughout. There was also a shooting club.
The Buck Inn Lane Head There were two Inn's known as the Buck in Lane Head the first and original was said to be the oldest in Bacup and in 1891 was said to have held a licence for over 200 years. The first Buck was demolished in 1891 and a new building of the same name erected in it's place this building was demolished in 1954. The Buck had stabling for three horses. It is noted that the class of customers were men of working class and women of a questionable character.
Newgate Inn
Green Man Inn Again on Yorkshire Street had stabling of 3 stalls but no coach house. In 1924 the Green Man was said to be in a sad state of repair. The exterior of the house being in bad need of repair and repainting. The interior being badly constructed. With the drinking rooms badly lit supervision by the landlord of customers was difficult and for the police due to there being two entrances from Yorkshire Street. There was only one W.C and one urinal situated on the ground floor. The billiard room was a separate building access by a small covered gangway. The Green Man was closed on 30th September 1924 as a drinking house.
