The Turner's Arms was on the corner of Throstle Street at
Bank Top.
It was named in honour of William Turner, mill owner,
calico printer and spinner. In
1832, together with William Feilden of Feniscowles he was elected as one
of the first two Blackburn MPs. The Turner Almshouses in the same area,
and still there, were erected and endowed by William Turner and his wife
Jane of Mill Hill in 1833.
This pub was demolished in 1986.
