Re: Nelson Square

Perhaps Bob is thinking about an extensive series of air raid shelters that were laid out under Nelson Square? I just took a peek by satellite at what used to be Nelson Square and there have been some major modifications including what looks like removing or filling the lodge that was there. The river Hyndburn is covered by a culvert through there too. As I remember it the "Lover's Lane" being referenced ran alongside Claude Coulson's house (Known as "The Cottage") and skirted the lodge. There was a lot of tipping and dumping there that almost sealed it off completely.
