Nothing wrong being a bus spotter Wynonie Harris. We all did it and trains and cars. I had notebooks full of car numbers.

As I stated, memory is a funny thing but I will accept that the ‘something’ was not a building. Although I still have a memory of a roof.

However I hired a helicopter and took a flight over Accrington this afternoon and took these photos above Ellison Street. Then I woke up and invoked Google to do it for me.

It gives a better perspective on things even if the Hippodrome is no longer there.
