Two of Blackpool’s greatest pubs were The Hop Inn and Pump and Truncheon.
They were two town centre boozers, typical community pubs with darts teams, football teams and where you could put the world to rights. The Pump and Truncheon is now the Number 13 and The Hop Inn is a dental surgery. These picture memories take us right back to those days. Are you pictured?
Landlord of The Hop Inn Iain Davies, along with several other regulars and staff, rode from Bournemouth to Blackpool to raise money for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.
