Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
going to the old Accy baths.....coming out with hair dripping wet and going to the chippy across the road for a bag of chips if we had enough money or a bag of scraps if we were skint.
Spending the long (mostly sunny days) of the summer holidays in Bullough Park,,,,,buying a penny hovis loaf and a halfpenny spanish....making a drink of spanish water in a medicine bottle (glass) to take to the park so that I didn't have to come home for something to eat and drink.
Playing in the brook in Priestley clough........catching indeterminate fish and keeping them in Jam jars.
The 'pop' man coming on a Friday, drinking Stantons Dandelion and burdock out of a huge stone bottle...that or sarsaparilla.
Happy days...alas, now long gone.
