er ..... Wow?

Before it became Barnes's furniture, there used to be an 8 ft long stone plinth set low in the wall, facing the end of Grange Lane, which had Accrington Higher Bridge carved in it. It dated back to the days when Accrington was two separate townships. There was another one at Bull Bridge which had Accrington Lower Bridge carved on it.
