I have not been back to my home town for over 60 years. In the Thirties we lived in Hyndburn Street. In the Forties we lived in Duke Street Clayton. They were nice little places to live back then.
I wanted to see what my old home town looked like now. So I went on Google and looked up all the old streets that I knew back then. I was appalled.Everywhere was a DUMP. What have you done to Accrington? Who are the vandals responsible? I thought that we had Slums back in the Thirties but now you have Slums all over the place. You all ought to be ashamed for allowing your town to be treated like this. Get your fingers out and get something done.
