The third of my three weekly quiz nights takes place at The Hospital Inn in Bamber Bridge. Nestled en route to Hoghton, it is a classic example of a pub which takes its name from its own history as it reputedly offered cheer and hospitality to
injured soldiers of the Crimean War in the 1800s as they made their way
to hospital.
This is where it all started for me almost 20 years ago in September 1999, when a weary landlord implored his regulars to take on the Quiz Night as it was just too much for him to organise on top of running a busy pub. A foolish 21 year old stepped up to the mark and I'm still getting away with it nearly two decades later!
The Hospital Inn quiz night is on every Thursday and their Facebook page can be found here:
