[Dave Walsh]

Greetings people of Accrington and surrounding communities. The Mods are urging new members to start here so I will. My name is Dave and I am a Walsh.
I come from Bury and live in Ramsbottom. I am familiar with Accrington and Burnley to a very limited extent but my focus is on Church District to which I appear to have a connection via water and family history. I won't say too much as some Forums prefer a brief introduction and longer blether in the right place.
I was amazed to visit the Church area and see the nicer side particularly along the canal. I've been a few times and had a pint inthe Thorn. Thought it was time I tapped into the obvious friendly place for information and discussion ie here!
I see Bob Dobson "Mr Lancashire" is a prominent figure here. You might recall me from your booksale events Bob [helping a Mr Gleeson].

Cheers,
Dave
