Name: The Joiner's Arms
Address: 113, Market Street, Chorley
The Joiner's Arms is one of the oldest remaining pubs in
town although the current building may not be the original as directory records
confirm that it was around in 1793; not surprisingly the landlord at that time,
Thomas Green is shown as an Innkeeper, Joiner and Cabinet Maker. From 1797 the Joiner's was listed as one of
the Lodges of the Freemasons and like many of the town's pubs was a popular
meeting place.
It retained its name certainly until 1964 according to
directory records but probably long after that.
It is still open for business today under its current name, Last
Orders at the Lamplighter. Prior to this it has had other
names including The Entertainer.

Hello, My Great grandfather worked and lived at this pub in 1901. Long shot but anyone know of any pictures of the pub and possibly the staff at this time?
