the hospital,at home, in a barn, I mean born in Accrington, and who can claim to be the last person to be born in Accrington? of course any recent births could lay claim.

I'm sure someone must know when Rough Lee closed ?, did the maternity unit move to Accy Vic ?

Born in Roughlee, but in 1951. I suppose nobody (apart from a home birth) can have Accrington as their place of birth on their passport anymore? That's sad.

Thats what I was getting at really, I'd guess very few under the age of 20 can say they were born in Accy.. and in the future could be almost unique.

Sister-in-law has the birthplace of Oswaldtwistle on her birth certificate, she was born at home on Lord St and was one of the last babies that were able to be registered at Ossy Town Hall.

I was born at Roughlee in Accy in 1972 but probably not the last person - should have been sent to Blackburn but I came out too quick.

I was born amongst the pick and mix in Woolworths....oh no, that's a lie.

I was born in Bramley Meade in Whalley in 1965, or was it 1865?

Maybe this time they'll keep the baby instead of the after-birth?:D

Are you having a Christening party?
