    I lived at THE NEW SUN INN from 1955 until 1961 my father and mother ran the pub my dad was William Henry Fiddler (Bill) and my mum was Anne.I had a lot of happy times in the place with the majority of my childhood spent there.The previous licencee to 1955 was Frank Thornton,and after we left a fellow called Edward Quigley (Ted) took it over until it's sad closure about 4 years later.It was in the centre of a wonderfull neighbourhood of mainly teraced houses,shops and of course pubs.On the site of the pub now stands a tree and I visit the spot often to reminise.Oh Happy Days,I do live nearby in Gillett St and I intend to spend the rest of my days close to my beloved Ribbleton Lane.
    All the Best from Mick Fiddler.
