Post Missing friends

Does anyone out there remember Arthur Walton, I lived at Slaidburn Drive, attended Hollins school and was employed at Howard & Bulloughs ( A. K. A as Platt's ). Favorite pub's were Bridge, Bees Knees and Spinning Jenny. I moved to Germany in the early 70's and after living in several countries worldwide was sent to the states in 1985. Married to Sandra, with three teenage kids, Daniel , Sara and Jason. If you want to contact me please use my e mail. I miss Accrington and it's history.

Post Re: Missing friends

I was born at Downham Drive in the Fern Gore area, later moved to Slaidburn Drive. Went to school with several "Fern Gorer's" , Bernard Addison , and a kid called Eddleston being a couple of names from the past.It was these guys that seemed to make everyones life hell, at Hollins. Spinning Jenny had good musical groups during the early 70's. Fished at Jacobs Lodge, and the Plunger for many happy years. Drank lot's of "yards" at the Plough, and lived to tell the tale.

Post Re: Missing friends

Thanks for the reply you sent me, Bernard used to like beating up smaller, and less physical kids at Hollins. He hung around with other guys from Fern Gore as protection. I was the target of Bernards attention until I stood up one day and returned some of his "treatment"., suprised to say he was a little different after that ! Tell him I just bought a Yamaha 1100 c. c.  V Star cruiser last month. Next year I will try and buy a Harley Davidson money permitting. How are things in Accrington, it's years since I was there.

Regards
ArthurWalton

Believe me she has changed a lot over the years.Her brother Jim now runs the Plough.Would it be too much to ask who your friends name was?

Hi Artie. I was born on Fern Gore Ave. Before Spinning Jenny was built so I think I am a big older than you guys. Left when we had to move into caravans while the council put loos upstairs and moderise the good old houses. Tom was still in the paper shop at the end of the ave.
