I was just looking through some old family papers. I always thought my dad rented that garage but actually it was owned by our family. It was part of my great grandmother's property empire (she owned a few terraced houses and a farm) and was sold for 35 pounds in 1965 when it was described as Old stable, Weir Street, Lowerfold, Accrington.
