Remember the dispute we had re. what the Railway was called before..
"Heres one which I don't think the brewery testers who gather in the
Railway at the corner of Blackburn Rd & Edgar St, know what it was called before the Railways were built in Accrington in 1847.
Retlaw."
Retlaw's original remark indicates a name change around 1847, and I 'aint going to question him.
