ONE of Oswaldtwistle’s most popular former pub landlords has been laid to rest this week after having died peacefully just after Christmas at the age of 74. Stuart Arnold MacFarlane, known as ‘Mac’, was best known to the community in Oswaldtwistle as a regular sight behind the bar at the Duckworth Hall Inn, on Duckworth Hall and as a loving husband to Rita, father to Julie, Michelle and Katrina and as a doting grandfather, brother, father-in-law and brother in law. Mr MacFarlane ran the venue, affectionately referred to as ‘the Duck’ by regulars, alongside his beloved wife Rita for 14 years, and it was here that he met his best friend Ephram Clarke, who he would enjoy great times visiting Portugal with, even learning to pilot a microlight aircraft while on their trips.
