[quote=misskitty;601640]I was talking to Jack's nan who has been up here in Accrington most of her life (although she is from Kent, as i am) and she said when she first came up here the spot that these 'apartments' are built was a mine.......no-one else has mentioned this.Is she mistaken or is it just forgotten/not being talked about?
Obviously the foundations would have been checked etc but still.......i wouldn't move in even if they gave me one for nowt, knowing this.[/quot
They are built on the site of the old Scaithcliffe pit.Don't think I would want to live there either.Went down it 50 yrs ago.
