The Holy City
Hi, What on earth has happened to Church.I used to live there with my family in the early 60s. What a thriving place it was. No need to go to Accrington or Blackburn shopping, everything was there.What's there now? Nothing, nothing nothing.Oh, a children's play area up the Lane. Where's the Library? Gone, like everything else. I live in Ossy now and have done for 40 odd years. There a bit more there, but not much. Plenty of take a ways. For the rate payers of Church and Ossy we're are not getting value for money. Where is it all going??

I think people in other parts of Hyndburn would disagree, and say that because PB lives here we get relatively better value for money. I do agree though, even in my lifetime Church has changed beyond all recognition.

Re: The Holy City
I used to work there when it was a bustling hive of activity. I think it started to decline after Rothwell's closed. There was a superb bakers on Blackburn Rd where we used to get butties at dinner time. Loved the smell of freshly baked muffins.

Re: The Holy City
You can still get some of the best meat pies in Lancashire at Yates's on Henry Street - an old-fashioned family business. And June's greengrocers on the corner is great - a tiny shop, but a really good range of stuff. There's some pub there as well, the name escapes me .....
