Who remembers?

Who remembers
The old Accy baths and the chip shop accross the road.
Swimming in the lodges at the back of the Coppice
Collecting wood/ furniture for the Bonfire in the back streets behind the houses
Saturday morning pictures at the Odeon
The rag and bone man and the goldfish
Trickets ice cream that came in the horse and cart (the red sauce was great)
the fog that stopped everything running, the silence, and the taste of it when you had to walk home through it.
Getting the bus on Adelaide street to Blackpool at the Wakes weeks.
Sitting on 'the deck' with your mates and waiting to get moved on.
The Jaz Club - great for under age drinking

The only thing I don't remember was the Jazz club!

[Retlaw]

Accrington Public Baths
St James St.

Never liked the place, could never learn to swim.

Was'nt till I was 30 odd, a doctor told me my bone structure
was too heavy, I would never be able to swim.
