My Dad worked there Cashy, later became Pendle Velvets! Thats one of the smells i well remember too, used to run on there to meet him at the Mill when his shift finished! Could smell it on his coat too...which i also used as a blanket in winter!
Other smells i recall is Mums Baking, Plate Jam Tarts or Egg Custards, and a big pan of Cheese n Onion on the go! Baked Bread from Mossleys Bakery on Jacob Street. Tommy Hodsons Toffee Factory on Cotton Street. Smell of Beer on Brewing days on the boulevard in Blackburn as we got off the bus! My Mum having a Twink home Perm on a Friday. Smell of Tar on the roads when we used to pop the Bubbles and get it on our clothes! Candy Floss and Toffee Apples at the Fairground or Seaside. Seafood Stalls on Blackpool Seafront. Printing Inks and Paper when i started work! And Spit Roast Chickens from the Chicken Shop down Accy!
