Lancashire memories
My grandparents, John & Betty Whiteside, were Landlord & Landlady of The Shovels Inn 1952-1971. I was born in 1955 and clearly remeber the pub as it was then, before they tore down walls! The old men of the village taught me how to play dominoes in one of the little rooms that used to be off the main bar. As... [more]

I went to what we used to call the school on the hill. I lived in Knott End and sometimes when we were rich we'd go to school on the bus, but if not it was your two feet that got you there, anyway my memory relates to the roundhouse, it was a toffee shop when we were kids, things you... [more]

When I was young we lived a short distance from here. A Sunday afternoon walk usually involved "going top see the boats"

Meadows Avenue (just round the corner)
Well actually it is any dates up to & beyond 1960. Born in 1951, I recognise the view of how the avenue looked before all the bungalows were built on the west side. We used to walk to Cleveleys through the 'paddy fields', full of buttercups & mayflowers. When we reached Rowlands Farm (Rowlands Lane now) we'd risk our lives cimbing... [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under the bridge) shows that the photograph was taken after 1907, when the old steam trams of the Baltic Fleet were withdrawn.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]
