UKBG Northern Area
John Farrell and his wife Elizabeth have been offered to come out of retirement to run a public house in Blackpool. It was an offer they could not refuse, so we move into the Raikes Hall on February 20. It is a bigger pub than the Duke Of York; it has parking for coaches and cars and it has a huge bowling green, a function room, Sky tv, and a music licence.
