I remember the Peacock, later Image, and now demolished and replaced by housing called Peacock Close (I think.)

Remember The Peacock Sticks ?? - I should say so - had some great nights there myself in the late 50s/early 60s - nearest I get now is a Pensioners' Special at Murgatroyds Fisheries a hundred yards away !! Tempus Fugit and all that eh ??

The Peacock did indeed put some good bands on - but I can't remember their names now. A few years earlier, just round the corner, The White Swan used to be a crackin' Thursday with the Dave Lee Sound. Teds, greasers (not 'bikers' then, please) and a healthy Otley contingent. Afterwards down to the Victory chinese for chips & gravy.....

That's the one.. the Valley. Its not the Cockersdale now either.. some weird nameAnd I forgot there is always the Brickworks but I wouldn't class that as a pub. Also the Six Acres is just outside Drighlington too
