Wow, you do get some long threads on this site - 4 years is pretty good although I think I saw a longer one about the meaning of "Dirty Old Town" which went on for five years. I read all the posts on here and was going to mention the "Same Yet" in Simister and someone got there 11 posts before me - bugger! Well, the other two I can think of are the "Museum" in Moston (not the most scholarly of places) and "Rosins" which is near Darwen. It was called "Old Rosins" when it was just a pub and it has a wonderful address "Treacle Row, Pickup Bank, Hoddleston".
According to their website the name comes from a group of fiddlers who played there - and I quote:

"The Rosins was built in the late 17th to early 18th century, originally named the Duke of Wellington. Here live music was played in the evenings by a group of fiddlers and the resin used to oil their bows was known as 'rosin', hence the Duke of Wellington became the Old Rosins. To this day an original violin which has been lovingly restored, can be seen as a feature in our 'Rosins' restaurant"

They used to have a folk club there, were I once sang back in 1971. A colleague, who was a regular there, told me they always served late because, being out on the moors, they could see the police car headlights long before they got there. Then, a few weeks later he came into work a bit sheepish and told me they'd all got caught one night when the police turned up on horseback! And who says the police don't have a sense of humour? So let's drink to the memory of Rosin the Bow - or is that Beau, I was never sure.
Just one other thing, the White Horse in Prestwich is always known affectionately as the "Dirty Donkey"
