	Fitzpatrick's Temperance Bar Tip Rating:

Fitzpatricks

by steventilly

Temperance bars were popular in Lancashire before the war as an alternative to pubs, being encouraged by mill owners who didn't want a drunken workforce. Apparently this is the last remaining one in Britain.

A local who remebered this place from "the olden days" said (on a website) "In my day they also served ... black peas ladled from a pot that you ate with vinegar in Winter'". Mmm, this is Carlins, our absolute favourite "northern food" - it would have been lovely to have some there, but they don't do it now.

Address: 1 Bank Street

Directions: It's the main shopping street - Fitzpatricks is at the bottom of the hill.

	East Lancs Railway Tip Rating:

The East Lancs Railway runs from Bury To Rawtenstall (with an extension to Heywood opening soon). It's the usual "enthusiasts railway" running a mix of old deisel engines and some steam engines. It runs a pretty full timetable though, and actually does serve as a proper transport facility for the Irwell valley rather than just as a tourist attraction. Some of the rolling stock that we saw was badly in need of repair, but I guess this will come with time, the railway has only been running since 1991.
