UPDATE - The owner and the bag have been reunited. Thank you to everybody for your support and shares!

**Help Needed**

On Tuesday 21st July, a member of the public handed in a “holdall” style bag which he had found outside the venue.

After reviewing our cctv, we have identified an elderly lady walking past the front of the pub carrying this bag and she had come from Royal Blackburn Hospital.

We are working on the theory that she may have put it down and carried on her journey, forgetting to take it with her and we would love to re-unite her with it.

If you or anybody that you know returned from the hospital on Tuesday missing a bag, please get in contact with us. You will need to provide a description of the bag so we can ensure we get it back to its rightful owner.
