i used them to get home lived in clitheroe .When you came out of work at Howard &bulloughs you were in look if the Guy double decker hade the radiator sticking out by about 6 inches . that meant i could get my connection at clayton-le-moors from english electric but if radiator was flush you would miss the connection due to the fact it would struggle to get up dill hall lane re about 1970 good old days

Re: Accy Buses............
 

Going back to my memories of the 50's/60's, when I used to catch the bus from Clayton to Accy, did the Clayton bus then go through to Fern Gore? I remember it used to stop at the last shelter before Blackburn road.

Re: Accy Buses............
 

i was under impression it carried on to Church then up union rd to Black Dog?:confused:

Re: Accy Buses............
 

It did...the legendary route no. 1 - Forts Arms to Black Dog.

Re: Accy Buses............
 

Cheers wyn thought i was losing it.:D oldclaytonian yer right wi the last shelter, am near sure the Fern Gore bus was the shelter before it.:)

Re: Accy Buses............
 

I'm trying to remember if Accy Corp ever had a service to Rishton , know the place was served by Ribble on the Blackburn -Burnley and Blackburn- Gt Harwood runs , seems a bit odd that Rishtoners would have had to change buses at the Load of Mischief to get into Accrington :confused:

Re: Accy Buses............
 

am near sure they did SJ, seem to remember catching it when i worked in rishton, also on friday nights when i used to go supping wi rishton lads mid 60s.:)

Re: Accy Buses............

Re: Accy Buses............
 

yep thought they did, across the road are 2 women waiting in the fern gore bus stop.:)

Re: Accy Buses............
 

They used to run one on market days, I remember that. I'm not sure whether they ran all week. Bee will probably know.

Re: Accy Buses............
 

Thin k you could be right Bernard, I can remember having to get a bus to the Load of Mischief then getting another into Rishton

Re: Accy Buses............
 

It was the Huncoat bus that went through to Fern Gore , and vice versa . :)

Re: Accy Buses............
 

You had to get the Ribble from Burnley to Preston for Rishton. The Corpy bus only ran rarely. My grandparents lived at the bottom of Blackburn Road near to the Dunk and you had to walk up to Whalley Road opposite the Load of Mischeaf to get the Accy bus.

Re: Accy Buses............
 

Thanks for that, my memory is failing me. My old Clayton mate who now lives up Fern Gore, didn't think it went up there. I will now have to admit I was wrong and buy him a pint!
Thanks for your input also Cashman
