Re: Hyndburn Road

The building just past Ellisons tennemant is the old gas and water works yard where I did my apprenticeship. We used to go accross the road for tea sometimes but I can,t remember the name of the lady who made it, maybe it was your mum Carol, it would be about 1965-70. The gas storage tanks were at the back of your house, right. I also remember an archway with some offices used by the gas board attatched to the houses.

Re: Hyndburn Road

I remember that graveyard being sold. Macpelah - means ''God's Acre' I was told, by a baptist, that the baptists used to baptise people in the river down there.
