Might not come under "the heading" but ...... Barnes Furniture shop is often missed by me. Could never understand why they left town. They had been in Accrington, originally on Blackburn Road, for many many years! They also had a carpet section at the front of the Arcade, on Church Street. Generations of Accringtonians bought furniture or carpets from them. I remember my Gran telling me she that when first married, she used to buy stuff from them on "the never never".

T'was across from The Bridge Pub, on the corner of Church Street and Cannon Street. What a good shop it was.

Three photos here, two of how it was and one of how it appears to be now. (Not the best of photos, but it gives an idea of the inside of the building).
