Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
According to my records the slaughter house was on Hyndburn Road.
Area #2 is next to Union Street and that site has had at least 4 distinct uses since Accrington was developed in the year dot. What about Area #1 - That has had at least 4 distinct uses in tte same period, get your maps out (or your Google finger) and find out.

Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
Didn't realise how difficult it was to relate to then (yes, was around) and now.
Need maps on maps to sort the Georgraphy out in me head ...  Funny can picture the before quite clearly, and the now, putting the two together for my pea brain is more difficult.Area 2 obviously was the sunken gardens. Area 1 .. Ambulance Drill Hall.. oh hek .. not sure.. LOL. |

Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
It is hard to get your bearings when you are up there because the scene is constantly changing. Accrington is easy because of the railway arches but away from the centre is another story. Finding the hospital and the ESMI unit is more difficult than you would think and trying to find a particular house in the Stanley Street area is hard because all the streets look the same.
Ambulance Drill Hall was on what is the roundabout in the centre of the picture, next to the old Elite snooker hall. I hoped this thread would be over run by historians telling us all we needed to know about Accrington. I have been looking for a similar picture taken in 1986, before the Arndale was built. I missed all that through working away in the Summer of 1987. When I went, in May there were just foundations and the place was almost finished when I returned in November. When was the picture taken?
