I'm not sure you'll see Moult if we have a fully fit squad. Maybe on the bench.
 
They only restrict buying in the home ends if they are expecting a big away following.

Paul if you do get off at 31a, the Anderton Arms is just off the motorway and is a decent pub if you want food.

The Hesketh Arms (Cemetry Pub) is a bit ...err...rum shall we say.

Better off leaving at J31a and at the 1st roundabout lights (Lane 3 of 4), go right and The Anderton Arms is about 400y on at the next roundabout. You can see (I think) the floodlights from there. About a 20 minute walk.

The "Cemetry Pub" (just off the round-a-about), is called the Hesketh Arms now. i think it was once known as the only pub in Preston with two address's (one on New Hall Lane and the other on Blackpool Road). Its recently been done up and does decent food at cheapish prices.

Yes it was. And the actual 'cemetery' pub was further down on cemetery road near the skeffington.
 
Don’t know if this is new to anyone, could be of interest?

Only found this out through researching ancestry, but in 1910 my great uncle, Thomas Crozier, was landlord at this establishment. Further research as led to finding some other brothers of his were landlords at other pubs but as you might expect with the rate we are losing our pubs most now don’t exist.

I think the Hesketh has always been regarded as being on New Hall Lane as that's where it's front door is, but yes, the other door opens onto the car park which is on Blackpool Road. The Black Horse, of course, in town, is known for having doors on THREE different streets.
 
I think Harry that if you pulled on Saturday night if you wanted somewhere quiet on Sunday night you used to take her to Peter’s Bar which was upstairs at The Black Horse?
