Sadly, there are certainly nowhere near the amount of pubs as there was years back.

Found in an odd location under the railway bridge on Fylde Road, for most of its existence this pub was known as the Princess Alexandra, but at the same time it was also commonly known as Th'Ole In Th'Wall.

It stopped serving pints in the year 2000 and was converted into student accommodation | ati
