Pub regulars enjoyed trip to Brussels festival

A PUB landlord and 37 regulars enjoying a weekend trip to Europe are shown in this week’s Looking Back.

Frank Daniels, landlord of the King’s Arms Hotel on Lee Street in Accrington, led the group on the annual trip in 1974, top. It included a day at the Weize Beer Festival near Brussels and afterwards Mr Daniels said: “Everybody really enjoyed it. It was better than our trip to Amsterdam last year.”
