IN the past, this now demolished pub has been used to film an unofficial film porn.
The picture, dug out from the Lancashire Telegraph's archives, shows The Moorcock Inn on the slopes of Waddington Fell - and the pub has a colourful history.
It grew into one of the best known country inns in the Ribble Valley, with ballroom, restaurant and hotel facilities.
Since it closed in 2010, more than 10 planning applications have been made to knock down the pub.
In those seven years the site was subjected to various crimes, hit by fire and even used as an 'unofficial location' for the filming of an unofficial porn film.
Plans to demolish the Slaidburn Road pub were finally given the go ahead in 2017, with the disused pub knocked down and four houses built in its place.
