Hi,

I may be a bit of a fraud to this site, as I have never visited Accrington. Bear with me! My dad was born and bred there and talks so highly of the place and the people. He was 80 last week and my sister and I wanted to present him with a photograph of The Albion Inn in Whalley Road, Clayton le Moors. My dad was actually born in this pub 80 years ago (I think his grandparents ran it at the time). Anyway, we have had major problems getting a picture and in the end asked the help of a local estate agents who kindly took a photo of the pub and emailed it to us. However, the pub is on the market for sale and the photo had for sale signs all over it and wasn't really what we were hoping for. Has anyone out there got a photo of the Albion as it was all those years ago? Or even just a fairly new photo but without the sale boards! For your information, my dad's name is Tom Rogerson - he still has his accent and is the loveliest bloke you could wish to meet!

Thanks to you all for listening! Here's hoping!
