Name: Towneley Arms
Address: 41, Berry Lane, Longridge
The hotel was built next to Longridge Station and was originally known as the Longridge Railway Tavern/Railway Station Inn before becoming the Towneley Arms Hotel in 1851 although the old name seems to have stuck for a good few years in locals' minds, as polling records in the 1850s attest.
It was originally owned in the mid-19th century by the Fleetwood, Preston and West Riding Junction Railway Company, as their terminus building with the old station immediately behind.
Listed landlords at the Towneley Arms were Thomas Holmes Sergenson (1849-60), Thomas Pierce (1861), Richard Phillipson (-1870), John Threlfall Kenyon (1871-), Levi Yates (1880-), Thomas Blackoe (1891-), John Mayor (1901), Henry Handley (1911-24), Stanley Nicholas Fazackerley (1926-), Jacqueline Taylor (2011),
Warren Smith (2011-), Annette Clelland (2012), Daniel Mark Horobin (2012-18), Charvalle Henshaw (2018-), Ian Mark Donoghue (2018-), Gillian Tattersall (2019-), Wesley Paul Davies (2019-) and Sally-Ann Sargeant (2020-).

Landlord in 1926 Stanley Nicholas Fazackerley (born 3 October 1891 – 20 June 1946) was an English footballer who played as an inside right.[1] Born in Preston he had spells at a number of clubs including Accrington Stanley, Hull City, Sheffield United and Everton and was known as a clever skilful player with a powerful and accurate shot.
Fazackerley played for the reserve team at hometown club Preston North End, but left the club to sail to the US in 1911 and played for Charleston during the 1911–12 season. Upon his return to Britain in 1912, he briefly played with Accrington Stanley before moving to Hull City for a fee of £50 where he scored 19 goals in 27 Division 2 games. This brought him to the attention of Sheffield United who paid £1,000 for his services, then a record fee for the club. He was a mainstay of the team and played a large part in the club's success in the FA Cup in 1914 and 1915. He played part in the FA Cup final in 1915 and scored the second United goal by heading in a shot from Wally Masterman that had rebounded from the bar ensuring that he picked up a winners medal.

During World War I he remained registered with the Blades but caused friction when he turned out for Preston North End without permission. He subsequently joined the Royal Field Artillery and was then allowed to make guest appearances for Blackpool and Chelsea whilst on active service. After the war he remained with The Blades and was selected for an FA tour of South Africa in 1920 but his form declined on his return and he requested a transfer soon after.
He eventually joined Everton for £4,000 - a huge amount for the time - although Stan's own part in the transfer led to an FA enquiry. Coming to the end of his career he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers after a couple of seasons before finishing his career at Derby County.
