Accrington Web - View Single Post - Accy Old Photo's

Busman747 · 15-10-2010, 20:44

I was recently priviledged to view a marvellous collection of old photo's from Mr. John Kelly, local fire fighter (retired), and he has kindly given his permission for me to put a selection on the Accy web.

There are so many that I am going to "drip-feed" them on this thread and invite comments as we go.

To start with, these maps show Accrington in 1849

There is a current thread concerning the Railway station and how it is going to look, this is how it did look!

...........and finally (for now) can anybody remember the "British Restaurant"?
