Hiya Cooinda, I was born in Crawshaw Street at number 8 in 1942, but lived most of my time in the street at 33. My name is Peter Davison and I remember all the people that you mention, in fact, Derek Gardner is my cousin and I see him quite often. I have a picture of the street looking from just above the Horse Shoe, down towards Broughtons. As soon as I sus out how to post pictures on here I will post it. Did you have a brother called Vincent? I went to Hyndburn Park with a lad called Vincent who lived next door to the 'shoe. Hope this is of some interest.
