Name: The Dog Inn
Address: Market Place, Longridge
 |
| The Original Dog Inn c.1800s |
The Dog Inn commands a dominant position at the top of Berry Lane looking down into the town with great views across the countryside to the rear. It has played an active role in the town's community since the early 1800s, possibly before then and remains a going concern today. Towards the end of the 19th century the original building was demolished and a new one erected in its place, as shown by the photos above and below. The Red Lion can be seen adjoining thee original Dog Inn on the photo above.

The landlord in 1900 was Samuel Thomson (14 February 1862 – 23 December 1943) who was a Scottish footballer. A Scotland international, he was a member of the Preston North End side which became known as "The Invincibles". He was born at Lugar, Scotland on 14 February 1862. His first club was Lugar Boswell, and while with them he was twice picked to play for Scotland. He later had a short spell with Rangers, before becoming one of the many Scottish-born footballers who joined Preston North End as the Lancashire club assembled a side that was almost unbeatable.
Thomson signed for Preston North End in 1888. Playing as a winger, he made his League debut on 15 September 1888 at Dudley Road, the then home of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Preston defeated the home team 4–0. Thomson scored his debut League goal on 12 November 1888, at Victoria Ground, the then home of Stoke. Thomson scored the third goal as Preston North End defeated the home team 3–0. He appeared in 16 of the 22 League matches played by Preston North End during the 1888–89 season and scored three goals. Playing as a winger (13 appearances) he was part of a midfield that achieved a big (three-League-goals-or-more) win on six separate occasions. As a forward (three appearances) he played in a front-line that scored three or more goals on three separate occasions. It was Thomson's performances in the club's run to the 1889 FA Cup Final that endeared him to Preston fans, and he earned himself a winner's medal as Preston North End beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3–0; he scored one of the three goals.
He was an important member of the side that retained the title in season 1889–90 but in the close season he was persuaded to join Wolverhampton Wanderers without the Deepdale club's permission. The incident went before the Committee and Wolves were fined £50 for their misconduct. Having joined Wolves, he scored nine goals in 24 League and FA Cup matches and he then moved to Everton. After a handful of games for Everton he was on the move again, this time to Accrington where he ended his playing days. He later became a railway clerk based in Preston. He died aged 81 on 23 December 1943.
