White Bear Inn, Barrowford old postcard mid 1970s

Of all the things that could be said about this scene, the caption on the reverse of the card reads "Bull and bear-baiting took in what is now the car park."

 

The white paint/render has now been removed to reveal the stone walls: goo.gl/maps/w3QW5YvRM6sfZngE9

 

The large building in the background appears to have gone.

 

Good to the see Datsun 100A. The Capri (a Ghia?) looks good, I really like that style of alloy wheel. Is the Cortina Mk3 a GT?

 

Edit: Just made out the Capri's plate as YCW 893N, it was a 2.0 Ghia that lasted the usual 10 years with DVLA showing it as untaxed in 1984.

 

Jaguar XJ and Mercedes parked in the posh row....

 

Unsent card published by VP Ltd for Pendle Leisure Services, no reference, photograph by Anthony Braithwaite.
