I lived in Accrington until 1976 when I moved to Manchester. I lived in the Fire Station Houses in Manchester Road and in Southwood Drive in Baxenden until I moved to Manchester in 1976. I attended Peel Park school and Accrington High School. I would like to ask a question. Is the war memorial for the 1st world war still in Gatty Park? I have recently found out that my great uncle was killed in 1917 and is named on the memorial and I would like to pay my respects. He is buried in Belgium.
