Old Accringtonian
I lived in Accrington until 1976 when I moved to Manchester. I lived in the Fire Station Houses in Manchester Road and in Southwood Drive in Baxenden until I moved to Manchester in 1976. I attended Peel Park school and Accrington High School. I would like to ask a question. Is the war memorial for the 1st world war still in Gatty Park? I have recently found out that my great uncle was killed in 1917 and is named on the memorial and I would like to pay my respects. He is buried in Belgium.

Re: Old Accringtonian
Hi Joan - I can't answer your question about the memorial, sorry - Retlaw is our expert in that field, and he will answer you I'm sure.
I remember you from High School - a pity you didn't attend the reunion we had this year - people did ask about you. |

Re: Old Accringtonian
There is a memorial in Gatty Park, Church and one in Oak Hill Park. The one in gatty Park was designed and executed by Walter Marsden, a product of Accrington Grammar School. Read about him in the section on famous Accringtonians. I don't know who designed the Oak Hill Park one.
