Hi Ryewolf,
Nice photos and a nice walk!
Reminds me of a walk I did 4 years ago (aged 73). I was visiting Accrington & friends for the first time in some 20 years or so. As I was staying at the Dunkenhalgh hotel in Clayton, that is where I started my walk:
- Blackburn Rd (looking at where I served my apprenticeship English Electric) on to the junction with Whalley Rd.
- Whalley Rd. on to Whinny Hill
- Over Whinney Hill to Bolton Ave. on to Burnley Rd.
- Down to the Cemetery (visiting Mother & father's Grave)
- Down to the town centre
- Up Church St. to Cotton St.
- Belfield Road (looking at the house number 5), where I used to live and no. 1 where Grandad Swain lived.
- On to Nuttall St. and Mount St.
- Through Priestly Clough (my old playing grounds)
- Up and on to St. Georges Playing fields (where we played football & cricket from Woodnook school)
- Down to Belfield Rd to Hudson St. (looking at my old school Woodnook)
- Down Royds St. to Nuttall St.
- On to Manchester Rd.
- Down Warner St. on to the Market Hall (had a coffee & sandwich)
- Back up to Whalley Rd.
- On towards Clayton and back to the hotel.
Starting time: 10:00am
Finishing time: 16:00 ( 17:00
Cheers
