Bull Bridge
Hi, this was the name of the area around the bottom of Milnshaw Lane/corner of Hyndburn Road, the name probably no longer in use. Here is an old photo taken from the railway viaduct (from a book published in the 1950's about plans for the future of Accrington).
All the buildings in the foreground have gone now - the only thing you will recognise is the river which can still be seen today, by the entrance to the Arndale Carpark. It may be hard for you to vizualise things today, so I am gonna ask Owd Bert if he would mind putting arrows and descriptions on the photo, to help you all get your "bearings"
If you look at the back of the photo, more towards the right, you can make out the Market Hall with its tall chimneys.
