Re: Cronshaw/Dean
Have now had a good look at the map with my husband - what a mass of housing round the Mills. We couldn't see Plantation Mill anywhere and I was surprised to see the little square of Plantation Mill cottages looked so small because my family lived at 188 and 189 and I am sure there aren't that many houses there. Looking left at the map and going down Plantation Road you come to Abbey Street and turning left into Abbey Street, further down on the left is a church set back beside a pub which I assume is the Swan pub (or used to be) and the Church is the New Jersalem which was.
Whilst looking at this my husband mentioned Accrington Stanley which he thought, off the top of his head, had gone backrupt in the 50's and had now very recently, got back into the league ............ he likes football!
