Lancs & Yorks, Bamber Bridge
The Lancs & Yorks public house on Station Road, next to the level crossing.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Hotel first opened in the 1850s, probably gaining custom from the newly opened railway. It could have been called “Railway Hotel” or “Station Hotel” but instead it was named after the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the company that ran the lines in this area at that time. I don’t know when the name was shortened to “Lancs & Yorks” but it was still listed as “the Lancashire and Yorkshire Hotel” in the Barratt’s Directory of 1917.

Bamber Bridge Level Crossing
The amber light has just gone off and the red lights have just come on. The barriers are being lowered.
The lowering of the barriers is monitored by staff in the signal box overlooking the crossing. The box is just visible. It is the building with the open window in the top right hand corner of the photograph.
Bamber Bridge station is just to the left of the crossing.

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
