Yes I was a paper boy in the 50's for a newsagent called PARR the shop was where the entrance to the Arndale car park is now, the trips I went on were to New Brighton or Blackpool and boy did we enjoy it, like going to a foreign country I used to get 9d old pence for monday to friday morning and evening and an extra 6d for Saturday/Sunday.
As you say "great times" wish it were still like it Accrington was a superb town in those days.
