A village pub is set to reopen after a refurbishment.

Blackburn-based Three B’s Brewery has spruced up the Black Bull in Brokenstone Road, Tockholes.

The pub shut in 2009 but brewery owner Robert Bell has installed a microbrewery at the back in a bid to bring in punters.

It is a welcome boost to East Lancashire’s pub industry after dozens of closures in recent years.

Mr Bell said: “We were looking at pubs in the Blackburn area, but this is an ideal location for us, and looks out over the whole of Blackburn as well.”

Beers brewed by Three B’s include Autumn Gold, Bee Blonde, Bee-thrifty, Stoker’s Slake and Tacklers Tipple.

The pub will reopen on Saturday, April 23 at 5pm.

Another drinking hole brought to life. How many of its drinking hole customers will Die by drinking Alcohol . A Law should come into force by Closing down all Public Houses and Clubs. Alcohol and Cigarette Smoking is the biggest CURSE of early deaths with Lung CANCER & LIVER CANCER.

May I suggest "Bee Happy" 3b's beer for the Major, not only does it taste good, but it also improves eyesight.
It did wonders for the young lad "Wendy" in the photo.
