To true my friend, I thank you for your kindness of thought….Your not on your own when it come to Rose coloured specs….The Town I left is half the place I came back to, Church especially hurt me. What’s gone can never be brought back the way it was that’s why I bang on about preserving what’s left, one day we will wake up and it will be to late, these places of our childhoods and formative years will have gone and we will have a new Accrington, bland and character less…

When people ask me where I come form, I tell them with Pride “down Church, over at Accrington” and every time I remember the grimy black stained stone buildings, worn flag stone pavements without cracks and cobbled streets….with pride, something I have never said of this s*** hole I have lived in for 30 years.
