Re: Wellington Street
That map is fascinating! Is there any date for the map?
My grandma and grandad Southworth lived on Grange Lane opposite the Perseverance Mill and great-grandad Southworth had a Tripe-dressing shop on Cotton Street and also ran a Tripe Stall in the Market Hall.
That 'Football Ground' at the bottom of Robert Nuttall Street, could it be where the original 'Accrington FC' played when they became founder member's of the Football League? According to my husband, who has a book of the history of the club, they first played at Wood Nook.
