You might remember Jimmy Lomax who was a fellow radio ham as G3TU but much older than me.I lived at the other side of Burnley rd. from Manor st. and often popped in for the odd component if I was building something.

Re: memories
Was the Co op near where the Calder is now
I went for my first ever job interview there I had to do a basic maths test and then the manager asked me 3 times if I'd ever been in trouble with the police - I felt that if I had he might have given me the job!!! Not too disappointed I didn't get the job |

Re: memories
I think that photo would have been taken from the Town Hall were the bus for Clayton would have gone from I remember woolworth as main by anything store, Accross from the Town Hall was Redmans on the corner of St James St under the Elite snooker but can anyone remember what was on the corner of Dutton St and the shops in between did the single decker leave from there for Fern Gore. I have just looked at Accrington center on Google looks good.
