Thanks Atarah, Billy Drinkwater ( Billy Bean ) is the one standing next to Tommy at the back, I think the chap in the middle is called McCormicke, I was friends with his brother Chris, there grandfather was a plumber in Clayton. Dont get too carried away Mez. I dont think Billy was in the Sundowners though. It would be great if you could get Tommy on here to give us more information on the Accy legend of Tommy Franks.

Janice Battersby = Vicky Entwistle

I went to junior school (Hippings Methodist , Ossy) and Rhyddings with Vicky. She was a year below me. They lived up Hawthorn Avenue whilst Vicky was at Rhyddings. We all used to hang about in the park.
Vicky was very slim and petite during her school years

She often shops in Accrington Asda when she is over this end. My mum bumps into her a lot and fame hasnt got to her head, she is still really down to earth ..

She lived on Yew Tree, and if you saw her wedding in OK she looked amazing, she is still slim, they make her look fat!

Well she definitely lived on the corner of Hawthorn Ave, but their bungalow was on Yew Tree Drive when she used to chase me home from Church shouting she loved me.

Mik Dickinson · 19-11-2005, 19:33

Sorry lads is that up Fern Gore or is it west end i know the addresses but cannot place them.

garinda · 19-11-2005, 21:56

Yew Tree Drive leads from Hawthorn Avenue to High Street, and is just behind Rhyddings Park and a bit to the north.

She definitely lived on Yew Tree because her Mum Maureen was my Sunday School teacher, and I was her helper, and had to go to her house a lot to plan the lessons.

Julie aka Hayley does an awful lot for Accrington, she supports Maundy grange which does alot of helping the needy. She supports the East Lancs Advocacy too which is based in accy. She does other stuff too, cant remember,so evevn tho she may not recieve an oscar anytime soon, she should be applauded and i think she does deserve a place in the hall of fame.

Dominic Brunt plays paddy the vet in emmerdale, he's from accy, ive got a brill pic of him sprawled out unconscious on the floor, surrounded by beer cans, shall use it to bribe him one day!

Dominic Brunt was in the same year at Moorhead High School with the already mention Julie Hesmondhalgh and Mina Anwar. I was in some classes with his brother, Patrick.

Jim Bowen was also a teacher there and also lived in my old street, Queen Elizabeth Crescent.

Now, I would hardly class myself as famous, but I have done a few quiz shows in the last 10 years, meeting such hosts as Anne Robinson, Richard Whiteley and William G Stewart.
