Born in Stanley St in 1941 (so an old boy now, but still quite lively).
Left in to 50/60's for far off Blackburn then Nelson, then the World.
Have been back a few times, and it's always has had a place in my heart.
I've been looking at some of the old photo's on the web site (very nostalgic). Don't think I have any family in the town now.
Went to St Pauls junior (BH) and then Hyndburn Park.
My dad was a piano player, and we had a cornershop at the bottom of Ceader St for a while.
As I remember it in general, it was all a very happy time.
Now living in France having worked around the world a bit,and having the odd glass here and there.
My wife (a southerner) still raves about the market and the market hall, I'd love to bring her back.
Well that's my introduction, everyone stay happy!
