Hi
 

Hi, I am new to this site, I used to live in Accrington a long time ago, and the other day I was seaching on the satalitte map and so a building I thought would have gone long ago. What it is today I don't know. Can anyone help? It's on Arglyle Street opposite Westwood Street. It was the place my grandfather made tripe to sell on Blackburn market, I couldn't get a clear picture but I am getting really interested in trying to find out more. Any ideas:p

Re: Hi
 

Cashy will come up with the answer. He talks a load of tripe.He is an elder of the site, or so it seams to me.
Not long ago I saw a photo in the library of two blokes stood outside a tripe dressers workshop which was perhaps in Hyndburn Rd -Bull Bridge area. I thought that one of them may have been my grandad, as it looked like he only had one leg, but it turned out I was mistaken He was standing with one bent at the knee. I cannot remember the firm's name.

Re: Hi
 

welcome to the forum, southworths is the only one i can remember, never took much notice to be honest, cant stand the stuff.:D

Re: Hi
 

I agree, hated the stuff as a kid, don't eat beef now so it's alright,
no, southworths is not the name my grandfather was called Marshall William Whitehead, but he sold the tripe at Blackburn under the name of Marshalls, but this was along time ago. Thanks

Hi and welcome!

Regarding the tripe video, yuk too! They bleach the tripe to make it look better and are allowed to get away with this?

Hi mallard, thankyou it's really good to find a site that I didn't knew existed till a few days ago. My memory isn't good for that time but hopefully looking at all the info will help. Hope I can add to it as well.
Regards

Hi Gobbiner 17 thanks for the welcome, I am trying to find my way around this site and I am not good with computers so lets see what
happens. Yes, is the answer to bleaching tripe, you would hate it even more if you saw the original colour. They use a very strong soda,caustic if my memory is right but it was a long time ago that I stood in the tripe works on Argyle St.
Have a nice day!

Hi Atarah, just trying to find my way around this site, not easy for me as I don't do well with computers. The tripe video is great, the fatty seam and honeycomb are still in my memory. Here in Hong Kong there is quite a lot of tripe eaten like I said, but always cooked, not the same as Gordon Ramsey, they eat a lot of offal here, good stuff some of it. I would have replied to this earlier but my dumbness of electrical apliances didn't allow me. Thanks again. Regards

Re: Hi
 

Hi jaysay and thankyou, I have just discovered this page today, and I am not sure what I am doing with it.

Re: Hi
 

Hi Atarah,
Yes, my grandfather lived at 17 Westwood St, he didn't have far to go to work, apart from the days he went to the slaughterhouse at Bury. Regards

Re: Hi
 

Hi Heth and thankyou, I am trying to find out how to use this site, easy for some but not for me, I have just lost the first message I sent you.
Regards

Re: Hi
 

Hi Cashman, thanks for the welcome, this will be a later reply because I have only just found this page, I am thick when computers are around, I always hated tripe as a child, but have eaten it here in Hong Kong because it is cooked with chilli and spices. Watching the Gordon Ramsy video and seeing the fatty seam and honeycomb brings back memories very smelly memories of the tripe works on Argyle Street don't actually know when my grandfather started to make tripe and he always sold it on Blackburn market, don't know why.
Have a nice day.

Re: Hi
 

You will get the hang of it soon!
Good Luck :D

Re: Hi
 

Hi Atarah,just lost the message I was sending you, brainless I am. I remember all those different kinds of tripe, cow heel is a good thickner for stews and casseroles. I used to eat sheeps trotters and my grandmother used to cook sheeps brains for the dog. My grandfather only made the tripe on Arglye Street and sold it in Blackburn, the name Southworths sounds familiar but I don't know why. I am going to try to send this before I loose it again.
Regards

Hi Lancashire Lassie, thanks for the welcome, my late reply is because I have only just found this page me and computers don't mix well, I keep deleting things. Must send this before I delete another one.
Have a nice day.

Re: Hi
 

Hi Bob Dobson, sorry to reply late, it's me and computers. My brain looks like a load of tripe at times or so it seams. Did your grandad make tripe? My grandad and dad were both tripe dressers, how do you dress a fatty seam of a lump of elder. He made the tripe on Arglye Street opposite Westwood Street Accrington, all this would have stopped around the mid 60s when My dad lost the business due to carelessness ( being very polite there) My grandfather had retired after an illness and went to live in Ireland. I remember Hyndburn Road didn't it run parallel to Blackburn Road with all the country names for Steets at one end? I used to live on India Street,
next to China Street, who needed a holiday if you lived in that area!
