First Traffic Lights
 

I seem to remember that the first traffic lights in Accrington were at the S-Bend by the old railway bridge at the bottom of Ormerod St. Cannot find any reference in "Accrington Chronology" book so can anyone help. Would also be interested to know the date.

oo wow that looks like my first car a cortina that was in late 60s

...late 60's? When did H & B become Platt? I though that was early '70's......or is my memory, amongst other things, just failing to work as I get older?

according to the photo title it was probably taken in 1971

What title?
 

I can't see any title!

I can't find anything on the web either about traffic lights.......key "traffic lights accrington" into google and you get 475 different instructions on driving through town and turning left/right at this or that set of lights.....nowt on the history, though.

yea t you could be right early 70s its me mind to-day not funtioning proper

hold your mouse over the thumbnail to see the title Tealeaf

Oh dear...
 

....and up pops the title! I spent 10 mins with a magnifing glass going over that piccy...no wonder I'm going blind!
