Burnley, Turf Hotel. Dating from the mid C19th, this pub is named after the nearby Burnley FC ground. It was closed in 2021 and put up for auction, expected to be converted to residential accommodation, but was retained as a pub, refurbished and reopened. It was described by the estate agents as:-
“The property comprises a large bar area, entrance hallway, rear hallway and both male and female toilets to the ground floor. To the first floor there is a landing, five double bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/diner and family bathroom. There is a beer cellar with barrel drop. Externally there is a gate to the side allowing vehicle access to the spacious beer garden to the rear which has a brick built storage area attached to the pub.”
The mural on the side was completed by Rochdale artist Jamie Buckley in 2021. At one time, Burnley was reputed to have more pubs per head of population than any other town in Britain, and was known as England most drunken town.

Turf Tavern
A popular but well-hidden historic pub in the city centre.
Its foundations and use as a malt house and drinking tavern date back to 1381. The low-beamed front bar area was put in place sometime in the 17th century.
The pub is frequented primarily by university students.
Running along one side of the pub is one of the remaining sections of the old city wall.
The Turf is also where future Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke set a Guinness World Record for consuming a yard glass of ale in 11 seconds in 1963.
The Turf also claims to be the location where future American president Bill Clinton, while a student at University College, as a Rhodes Scholar, famously smoked "but did not inhale" marijuana.
Other public figures who have dined or drunk at the tavern include Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher.
It also served as a hangout for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies while the nearby colleges were used as locations throughout the filming of the series.
This Tavern is believed to have been frequented by William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Gabriel Dante Rossetti, and Jane Burden, who later married William Morris, became the lover of Rossetti and may have worked here as a barmaid.

This is the original Turf restaurant in Seattle on Third Avenue. A place where the poor, elderly and dislocated came to eat and drink. Shot in the early 70s.
The Claret and Blue Army in the Jimmy McIlroy Stand for Stan Ternent's last game in charge against Sunderland, last home game of the season in April 2004.
Quite an emotional day as Stan managed to get us promoted on the last day of the season in 2000. He was in tears when I saw him.
I miss you Stan and your one-liners. Great bloke and till we meet again.
And for the best bulletin board in the world go to ClaretsMad

Burnley defeat Arsenal by two goals to nil with both goals scored by Burnley's number 7 , 20 year old Kevin MacDonald.
Fantastic atmosphere and a really really good night despite freezing temperatures and icy roads.
It's so good to see the ground bursting.
Situated on Back Street, Winlaton, next to Winlaton Bus Station, THE TURF, which had previously been called the WHITE SWAN, was pictured on February 5th 2011. A visit the previous month had found the Stables Brewing Co's Old Miner Tommy on. THE TURF is one of six pubs in the centre of Winlaton.
When I was a kid I think this was called The Royal Turf and it was painted green.
From asking around it has been known as The Turf and The Royal Turf Hotel.
Now a residential use.
Feel free to use these pictures but (if possible) please drop me an email so I can see how they are being used.

Headed over to CyberSalonAZ in downtown Phoenix, AZ tonight, and I mentioned to my buddy Alan (@cogdog) that I needed a shot for today. Our friend Alisa (@soul4real) had a paper, so I had Alan hold it up the Fry's Electronic's page :)
#ds55 The printed newspaper isn't as common as it used to be. Find a newspaper today and make a photo any way you like!

Yep, I have a gigantic head for a chick. I also love my navy blue heart dress and red plastic beads an awful lot.
If you listen closely, you can hear my mother sigh all the way in Missouri every time I make this face for a picture.
