I think you are correct. I think the New Albion became the Running Pump before the Usha.
Was it called Hambledon view for a while or is my memory playing tricks ?

Scarecrow ( was then renamed Coaching House) had my best days in this pub with great mates, great entertainment and fantastic laughs. and The Coal Clough Coaching House which was a great diversion on Karaoke night.
Great Happy memories of the Coaching House. Great Mates, great company & good surroundings.

"One Voice singing in the darkness ....... " I will leave the rest to you. :D

Also the Coaching House had very good picnic tables. That story is better left for another thread. :lol:

There has been a few mentions of the Havelock on here, but there was also another pub about 20 yards further up Barracks Rd on the same side called the General Campbell.

Bull & Butcher was great until some plonker from Bolton took over, thought he ruled the world and barred all his money makers then decided one night to visit their new local and offer try and start trouble.

That pub never recovered from his tenure.

Bowling Green (Clifton st)

Pretty sure the hop had Saturday lunchtime topless barmaids in the 80s or is that just my imagination.It changed its name at some point but I can’t remember what to.

Little White horse.

Bull & Butcher had the same landlord and landlady for years but it was the idiot who decided to rename it The Slaughtered Lamb who damaged it.

Solved

It was the New Albion initially and was then the Hameldon and the Running Pump but I don't know which order.

Rifle Vols used to be a good pub too.

What was the name of the pub on Oxford Road, probably just a bit lower down than St. Stephen's Church and on the opposite side?

Yes I think about 10 years ago but apparently the Brit on Oxford Road has been done up and re-openned.

Reminds me Brit Guy street Padiham scariest pub I ever been in.

Roebuck, Peels and the Union I think. I went in them all the night they closed their doors. They had no draught beer and were just selling off their stock of bottled beers.

There were also three pubs on Sandygate, which all closed in the late 60s: the Prince of Wales, the Hole in the Wall, the Old House at Home.

Red house, had some good sessions in there when Patey had it. Rough as rats but they are the best pubs.

The Junction has gone now to I believe, about 50 of us every weekend in there when we was about 17-18 basically kept the place running :lol:
Used to go out in Rosegrove loads from work years ago, often with the now Mrs Notts.

Redhouse, Junction, Gannow Wharf.. a bookies and Hargreaves bakery. It was a good afternoon without leaving the Grove.

Black Bull on Marsden road and The Lanehead on Kibble Bank. Spent many a Saturday afternoon in the Lanehead playing Chase the Ace whilst supping a few Thwaites smooth. Black Bull was great on a Thursday night. Disco night. Full of friendly girls too ;)
Black Bull was my local way back when briefly living in Burnley.
Some great nights out in there.

Two that none of us will remember.

Bull - bottom of Manchester Road, became Burtons and was where the meeting was held that decided Burnley would switch to football from rugby.

Pedestrian Arms - where library is now and where Tommy Boyle was landlord.

I see this wonderful list of pubs, and somehow feel reluctant to post certain memories of these establishments as the OP suggested. But is is a lovely thread. Very nostalgic too.
