26 incredible throwback photos show good times at former Burnley pub the Black Bull

A second reunion, for pals who met at the former Burnley pub, The Black Bull at Briercliffe in Burnley, was a great success.

Organised by Terry Grogan and Ian Harrison, the pals met at The Corkhouse in Burnley to talk about the old times at the popular pub. Ian set up a facebook group for everyone, known as ‘Bullers,’ to keep in touch.

Ian said: “The Black Bull was a proper social hub where friendships were forged for a lifetime. I played pool and darts for the pub and football on Sundays, and we had regular disco nights which were popular with nurses from nearby Burnley General Hospital. We all keep in touch on the facebook page and this was our second reunion, which was fantastic. The pub meant so much to so many when local community was everything.”

And here is a gallery of throwback photos from the pub that display the unique friendship and community spirit that made the pub such a special place.
