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.

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.

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.

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.

The first meeting for the purpose of establishing a Club were Irishmen could associate with each other was held at the Waterworks Inn, Market Street Bacup in November 1882. Under the presidency of Mr Malachi Healy.  At the meeting there was appointed the Formation Committee with instructions to obtain premises. After very great difficulty they rented premises at no5 King Street, and gave it the name of " The Bacup Irish Young Men's Association", where it remained until June 1898 when it removed to premises at 17 Irwell Street, which were purchased from the late Mr J.W.Eyre for £200.00 and altered at a further cost of £400.00.

The association existed as an unregistered voluntary association until March 27th 1884, when it was registered as a Workingmen's Club under the Friendly Societies Act 1875.
