I have memories of quarry buckets travelling on overhead wires, and a small iron railed grassed memorial garden within walking distance of Burnley Lane. My mother pushed me to my grandparents who lived at 22 Station Road for me to have a tuppa tea with my Nan. One day, my mother couldn't find me and searched everywhere. I was eventually found sitting on a door step with one Amy Bracewell eating beetroot and baked potato. I came home with fleas! Sorry Amy if you're still around. I wore clogs and used to tap dance on the stone kitchen floor. The roof leaked. My parents returned to Liverpool before 1945, because I have a photograph of me at a VE day street party in Liverpool. I remember, in Liverpool, having the mickey taken whenever I used the expression "Give Over!"

I believe Roughlee was demolished. Anyone have any photos of Roughlee?
Does 32 Burnley Lane Huncoat exist? Any photos ? Am working hard on a mammoth family ancestry project at the moment. Any help would be very very gratefully appreciated. I now live in South Oxfordshire

Best wishes to all

Re: Roughlee Nursing Home Accrington

I have just come across a card printed for the Municipal Nursing Home, Rough Lee, by the Corporation. It is probably from the 30s. Details include:-

Near Christ Church St, Manchester Rd. One penny stage from the centre on the Baxenden bus route....Visiting (Weekdays) Each evening 8pm to 8.30pm (Sundays 3.30pm to 4.15pm......Antenatal clinic on Fridays 10am to 12. ....Rate of fees:- Residents of the borough 9s per day, Non-residents 10/6d per day. Booking fee included in the above charges of 10/6d to be paid in advance.....Requisits for patients:- brush and comb,tooth brush and paste,sponge or flannel, elastic belt, 1pr stockings,1pr bedroom slippers. Optional are:- 3 nightgowns,dressing gown,bed jacket, towels......For further particulars, see the matron

The fees would still be payable unti 1948 when the NHS was started.

I am giving this item to the library.

Rough Lee Maternity Hospital was never in Baxenden, its the last property at the top of the paved area of Rough Lee Rd.
It was the old home of the Nutter family. During WW1 the Slingers were living there when their son George was killed in November 1916.

I was born there in 1963 -my Great-Aunt Lucy used to live just across the road from one entrance -on Lydia Street (I think). I remember seeing the old place -quite an impressive building.
