I have so many fond memories of going to -- and through -- Accrington in my youth (from Burnley). Going to: Saturday night dances at the Ritz in the late 1940s -- Trying to find a lost love (Accrington girl I fell in love with on holiday at IOM in 1948 - never did find her!) -- Lancashire League cricket matches. Going through: mostly to Blackpool on August Bank Holidays in the 1930s & during the war years -- "Passion Express" Saturday night excursions to Blackpool (Tower ballroom) in the late 1940s -- going to Burnley FC away matches at various destinations in the post-war years -- changing trains to southern destinations.
