Great pity! Included were many items which related to the war years, an old Accrington bus ticket machine plus many more items of local interest. Amongst this "memorabilia" are some large mugs which came from The British Restaurant on Paradise Street which Busman747 mentions. (I have one myself). I would love to see this place opened again, but .... probably cost comes into it to make it safe.
And ... I think you will find our Retlaw was greatly connected with the first map you show.

It is a great pity.
Are the exhibits survivors from the old museum, that weren't thrown on the dump?
