The St Johns Tavern was situated on Ainsworth Street. This pub closed for good on Tuesday 11th January 2011 due to the forthcoming market redevelopment works by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. This pub is believed to have opened c1964 at the same time as the new market hall. It had two bars downstairs named the Jubilee Bar and the Corner Bar and originally an upstairs bar/restaurant, although this area closed in 1988. There was always a good range of beers and live singers and entertainment also featured. There are apparently no plans to include a pub/bar in the new market development.

Paul Atherton	1967 onwards	This was a favourite pub for me and my mates when we latter-day mods in the late 60s.Many happy evenings with Lambrettas and Vespas parked many deep outside! In later years, my wife and I would go of lunch there - the dining area was called " The Snack and Snifter ".
