Ah! memories....
He went to Accrington Boys’ Technical College opposite the Palladium, though not sure if he would include that in his fond memories.

I don't ever remember going in the Pickups Arms Dotti, and we could have been in the pie shop at the same time. But what I do know from what you say, we went to the same school. Could it have been the same time.? I was there from 1946-48 when it's name was Accrington Junior Technical School. We moved from College St. Accrington to the building in Union Rd. in 1947.
