Hi from someone who's been here a while!!!
 

Hi, I joined Accrington Web a few years ago but haven't been able to use it really. I going to try now:) I was born in Blackburn in 1950 and lived in India St for a few years, went to St Andrews and then Paddock House. My grandfather made tripe in a works at the bottom of Westwood Street. I don't have any relatives in this area now but would love to find out more. I have lived in Hong Kong since 1981, so as you can imagine lost touch with the places. Nice to meet you all. Ann

Welcome to the Accy web Ann.
That was a nice introduction, I hope you enjoy your time with us and find the friends you left behind.
As a newcomer my self to Accrington ( just 45 years) I don't know much about the town but there are plenty of helpful members willing to help.

Many, if not most, of the residents in India St hail from the sub-continent......I probably took papers to your house after peeling the potatoes for chips in the chippie at the top of China street on Blackburn Rd. I know that Brian Ormerod from No 10 (?) is still around, but not aware of any more. A family of Footes lived at the top of the street on the Church side. What's your surname ? what number. I have a 1952 directory ( cannot find at present )which will tell who lived at what number
