Lancashire memories
I lived with Mum, Dad and brother Richard here for around 10 years from 10 yrs to 20 yrs old. I went to Riversmead School in Grindleton. Some very happy times in this beautiful place are in my memory. It's great to find this photo on line. I live in Australia now but will eventually come for a memory visit.

Right on the end of this barn, hidden from view was a small irregular building with it's own door. It had been a small butchers shop some time before my Mum and Dad bought it as a hairdressing salon for my mum to use as a little business.
It had no heating, just two yellow sinks and chairs, a couple... [more]

Clitheroe and Trough of Bowland
My father, Ken Hatton, worked as a surveyor with Cementation, a civil engineering company from Bentley Nr. Doncaster. They were driving a water tunnel under the Trough of Bowland. At that time we lived in Clitheroe at 12 Windsor Avenue off Henthorn Road. I remember going down Low Moor to a beauty spot known locally as "little Blackpool" on the River... [more]

My first introduction to Slaidburn was in the middle of the very cold and snowy winter of 1949-50. I had just driven down from Inverness to this charming Lancashire village with my Dad. It had been a long, cold drive in a 1938 Morris roadster car, loaded with luggage and a big tool box. I was to begin a new job... [more]

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
In a few yards there were many clothes shops here, including Weaver to Wearer, Burtons and Fifty Shilling Tailors Ltd. The building on the corner of Broadway with the stylish curved frontage (right) housed Woods the tobacconist's and Porter's Wallpapers, both familiar names to Accringtonians over many years.

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
This part of Blackburn Road was a hive of activity with lots of shops. The electric tram (just visible under the bridge) shows that the photograph was taken after 1907, when the old steam trams of the Baltic Fleet were withdrawn. The Baptist chapel (centre left) was built in 1836, but since a larger building was erected on Cannon Street in 1874, it has undergone many changes of use.

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
The Town Hall was originally known as the Peel Institution, and was used as Assembly Rooms. The etching on the windows, 'Magistrates Room' and 'Solicitors Room', reminds us that the Magistrates' Courts were also housed here for many years. The police station, just visible behind on the left at the top of Union Street, was accessible from the court via an underground passage for the prisoners to pass through on their way from dock to cell. The imposing ballroom has seen... [more]
