Don't know if this is relevant to your research, but i remember a tv program on the paranormal (might have been most haunted) did an investiagation into the Black A Moor Hotel a few years back.  It get's shown every so often on the discovery channel.

Hello
I wonder if anyone knows anything about The SpindleMakers Arms,124 Lancaster Rd, Preston.
My family ran it for some time at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. My great grandfather James Bramwell Dobson took it over in 1892 and was still there in the 1911 census but I think it had been a beerhouse for some time before that in the Dobson family.
Any information gratefully received.

The Spindlemakers Arms is closed, it is now a dilapidated building awaiting demolition 

[wildwaver]

Thanks for that. I had no idea the building was still there and, delapidated or not, will try and get a look at it before it goes.

Would you like me to photograph it for you ??

Thanks

Hi Wildwaver

The present delapidated pub was not the one that your Great Grandfather ran, it was re-built in the late 1950's / early 60's

Would you still like a photograph ??

[wildwaver]

In that case I won't trouble you but thanks so much for the offer and the info.
