The Township of Myerscough Smithy


Agnes Myerscough states '

A second even smaller hamlet near Balderstones was once called Myerscough. It had Myerscough farm, hotel and smithy. Now only the public house remains, most probably this was named after some Myerscough owner or tenants. In 1653 William Myerscough of Balderstones appealed to the Excise men to return his confiscated goods, perhaps he had been brewing illegal ale!

The Myerscough
Whalley Road, Balderstone, nr Blackburn, Lancashire BB2 7LE  Tel: 01254 812222


The Myerscough was built as a private residence in the late-1700s
and became an inn with a smithy attached in about 1830.
Alas this wonderful friendly Inn has now been closed under the recent owners,
​ who knows it may be bought and reopened in the near future
