AN April Fool’s Day publicity stunt by the Bees Knees pub group caused a stir in an East Lancashire town this morning. The Lancashire Telegraph reported how new signs were put up outside the Turf Hotel renaming the pub ‘The Royal Coyle’ after former Burnley FC manager Owen Coyle. The pub will be opening in May and will have a new feel and look after a £80k investment Owners said it was fitting the pub jokingly would be called after Owen Coyle who got Burnley promoted in 2009 but then caused consternation by jumping ship to Bolton during the Premier League season.

It was even claimed that a Radnorshire judge had been the first to make the comparison. However Presteigne’s Gallows Lane has long been named as a reminder to all of those who were condemned to death in Presteigne, particularly in the 18th century. Presteigne was the capital town of Radnorshire for centuries before the first recorded execution in 1739. In September the Radnorshire Court of Great Sessions condemned two men to be hanged for the murder of William Price in Gladestry on April 23. Gallows Lane earned its reputation in the years which followed. In 1743 Thomas Williams was hanged for stealing sheep and a year later Isaac Thomas faced the same fate for passing a forged coin.
