• Clock Face...run by a fat arrogant bastard who for some reason, thinks he's good, (with the exception of being a tosser). The place is stuck in a time warp as is most of it's elderly clientle. Where elephants go to die. Black Horse, probably the best and cleanest pub in Farnworth, decent food at very resonable cost, good staff generally. The Market, Brackley Street. Dirty, scruffy, frequented by the local mafia (ha!) familys who think they run Farnworth. One of saddest pubs I've ever had the misfortune to visit. Daily frequented by bog eyed local retards and monsters. The Brittania..opposite the Bus Station. Spit and sawdust, dirty, scruffy, smelly. Suspect beer, stick to carpet hovel. Kareoke Sundays all day, full of the landlords illegitimate offsprings and bog eyed monsters incapable of stringing two words together....before the daily ritual starts. The Bradford, Buckley Lane. Old Posers (LOL) paradise. Crap..dont know what your drinking, welcomes John Travolta look alikes. Funny to see the 40+ women still wearing ra ra skirts, yup a slappers paradise. Talk is of how we stayed in a five star in Benidorm and what fiddles are going round, who's knobbing who. The Bridgewater, Buckley Lane. Keeps a decent pint, cheap, clean. Run by the laziest landlord ever who thinks he's 14 as can be seen from his dress sense. Largest pair of Adidas tracksuit bottoms to be found EVER. No matter how busy the pub, no way will he step behind the bar while theres paid staff (1) on. In fairness his wife is great and will work. The locals will not speak with you until you've been going in 30 years, then, if your lucky and passed interrogation the you'll be invited to join the inner circle. Dont go in for a day or two and you'll be Interrogated as to where you've been and threatened with expulsion from the click. The Queens...thought you'd heard it all, try here the landlady is capable of out swearing the best. The Wellington, the biggest television ever dominates the place. Goes through tenants like no tomorrow, staff think they own the place and is their exclusive little den, unless your face fits...forget it !

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
