Has anyone got any information to help a new member?

Hi, I am new to this site I found it while trying to rememer my history,
I lived in Accrington a long time ago!
I am now living in Hong Kong with my son and daughter, and I would love to be able to find some pics of places to show them, not everyone had cameras in those days or took many photos. Does anywone remember Paddock House Convent, I was sent their by my Irish grandmother, but I can find no trace of it, surely it wasn't all in my imagination.....Help...
The above question was posted as a blog entry......by new member Manantat.

I suggested posting here or in Question and Answer, but the new member doesn't quite know how to do that....yet.
So I thought I would help out.

I know the power of Accyweb and I think there may be folk out there who have information that might help.
Thank you in advance.

I don't know Wadey.......just posted this question because it would get little response in the blog section.
The member is in Hong Kong, so I guess she will see this when we(meaning me) are all in bed....and it will be a starting point.
I thought someone may have photo's.
