Around two miles from the centre of Blackburn towards Wilpshire and the Ribble Valley, this is a late Victorian end of terrace former Matthew Brown house. Friendly, comfortable and very popular with locals with dominoes and card games played. A small public bar and larger open plan lounge areas are served from a central bar. Very handy for both buses and trains from Blackburn,Whalley and Clitheroe.

Corner locals pubs last changed in the 1960s. A passage leads to the centre of the pub which was two rooms until the 1960s and has a counter from that date. On the left is a good early 20th century glazed brick, cast-iron and wood surround fireplace. Has post war seating in areas to left and right with two large arched shaped openings. On the corner is a crackin' snug with 'Bar Parlour' in the top of the door. The very small room has what looks like old wood backed fixed seating, a plain baffle, a Formica fronted bar counter, a bar back fittings that looks to be from 1960s and just two Formica top tables. There are a lovely set of 'Lion Ales' windows. A local says a car crashed into the corner of the pub and the corner door blocked up so possibly the bar fittings are from then? Not enough.
