Many thanks for that info about the R. Arms, Jim. Next time I'm in the UK, I'll go and have a pint (or is it a 500ml nowadays in Britain!) When I was a kid, I was never let in. Had to stay in the coach with a bag of crisps! Cheers Alan

I went to school in Blackrod, and have lived in New Zealand for a number of years. They could have built a new Pub/Hotel since then :-) The Ridgway Arms I remember was at the junction of Railway Road, Babylon Lane, Chroley Road & Bolton Road, on the opposite diagonal corner of the junction was The Elephant & Castle. pictures of them can bee seen on :- http://www.adlington.info/pages/pubs.htm. together with other pubs in the close proximity remember them all well :-) I can recall the many coaches that stopped at either the Ridgway or Elephant. I wonder from your email address that you are in Australia? Regards David A Lancashire lad in New Zealand
