The Lancs & Yorks, Bamber Bridge
Passengers from Preston arriving at Bamber Bridge station might find the Lancs & Yorks pub very convenient for a stop off on the way home. Its story is an unusual one. For many years known as the Lancashire and Yorkshire (later shortened to Lancs & Yorks), taking its name from the company that ran the adjacent railway, it closed in 2013. The building was then divided into two retail units and it looked as though it had joined the ever-growing ranks of former pubs forever. However, eight years later in 2021 one of the units reopened as a microbar, taking the old name, and now appears to be thriving with regular live music and other entertainment - good news indeed for those who love the institution of the British pub.
This photograph shows it as it was in 1992 when it was a William Younger's house and looked smart: Image 20 years later, shortly before closure, it was beginning to look distinctly down at heel: Image
