In them days cameras were a rarity.

We only had a Box Brownie, and only my dad could use it. I would have probably broken it. My camera is in my head, and I have very vivid memories. Pity I can't download them!

I remember Sauls, my mum use to shop there, again on Saturday mornings before I went off to the Odeon. A Jewish man owned it and my mum kew him and his brothers from Whitefield in Manchester during the war. It never got us anything cheaper though.
Another point of interest to me was the local Parks; Oak Hill (of course), Milnshaw Park, Rhyddings Park in Ossy, and my favourite, Gatty Park. Yes in them days Accrington had quite a few decent Parks that always had beautifull flowers, and well tended Bowling Greens. And quite a few thick bushes to chase the girls into!!! I'm sure Mez can remember them!!
