´Meet You Under the Clock´!!



I found this wonderful photo during my internet wanderings and although Accy buses were wonderful in their own right, I was more interested in the clock that you see in the background. That thing with black legs top left!

I don´t think it is still there now, but during the sixties it was the place to meet for teenagers hoping for a new romance. There you were, skirts showing your knickers, trying to feel confident and praying that matie would turn up!

After all, you only met him last night for a quick snog at Burnley Mecca! Could you even remember what he looked like!!

I was only ´stood up´ once and I ended up marrying him. It would be nice to know how many folk got hitched because of that clock.

Thanks Doug xx

You daft woman, not them. They where square-ish in shape, They stood in the corner of the kitchen, they where about two foot high white in the body, black cast iron tops with a flue pipe that came up the back about three foot up the wall and out in to the back garden.
