It was one of the largest pubs in Blackburn and at one time offered stabling for horses and also had its own bowling green and bowls pavilion.

This photo of the Oozebooth Hotel was taken in May 1994 shortly before the pub was demolished as the surrounding area was redeveloped for housing.

The pub stood on the corner of Oak Street and Bastwell Road. For a time, the Thwaites pub also offered off-sales. Do you remember it?
