If you go up Todmorden Rd from Littleborough there is the Summit pub, although Littleborough has lots of pubs. Hollingworth Lake only has one pub the Beech and a bloody good chippy, Mr Thomas's. Tod is alreet as they say for a pint. Burnley is a complete shit hole, as are most of the places round here. Accrington has lots of pubs and clubs but they still throw stones at the moon. Padiham will be full of Burnley, and they would throw stones at the moon if they could look up!! I believe you will get a nice reception in the Forresters near Burnley's ground. Dont even think about Nelson or Colne!!!

If you're coming from Victoria it will change over in Hebden. You'll go through Tod so will have the option to get off there and get a few drinks in then a 20 minute cab or just go straight to Hebden then get the change over.Glazers_Wallet said:

then the yuppies discovered it ,turned it into a lib dem shithole
proper boozers became carveries
trades club might have survived the times

used to have a garggle in hebden as it is where you change trains to get to victoria from burnley (from manchester : victoria to leeds train - change at hebden for the blackpool train and it stops in burnley (10 mins)) - if there are a group of you it might be worthwhile getting a taxi from hebden to burnley.
boozers are within 10 mins (max) of the station.
leave the station, go through station car park, turn left, go past the fork in he road (basically the road splits and you just keep going straight ie bare left).
keep going for 100-200m or so and then on the right you'll see a boozer down one of the streets.
decent old, boozer run by a friendly old couple - keep their beer very well and have guest beers- had 6 of the best pints of bitter ever one afternoon in there.
a little further down the same street is a sports bar (i think) but it might have ween a WMC. Decent place , good ale, good prices.
hebden also used to have the most ufo sightings in britain.
