I'll give you that one, but its real name was Broad Oak fold, that tree is supposed to be the oak. Do you know how many Folds there were in Accrington, and why they were called Folds. Or would you rather have a new picture puzzle.

A fold was a place of refuge from invaders, the last one to disappear was Broad Oak Fold. Before it was demolished for the present Legoland, all the houses only had widows facing the inner yard, in the form of a square and a big gate, every one including cattle would dash inside close the gate.
The Scots were the main culprits.

Not going to say any more as I might put some pictures up of Folds.



New one please. :D
Gotta' give this to Gayle though .. she found it first, after that was easy.
