Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

I imagine because of The Black Bull pub, which was in this area. It was where the back entrance to our car park is, directly facing Hyndburn Road.

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

To help folk "get their bearings" look at the 2nd photo on posting 179, page 12. If you cast your eyes over the rooftop of Spring Mill, to the right you will see the roof with "James Walmsley"...

No its not Wadey. Wrong corner! You are showing the corner higher up the street, i.e. corner of Little Blackburn Road and Bank Street.
