bacigalupo... i can only remember this name, but dont know where from was he a barber? and my spelling is also a guess, i bet some one remembers the name,:confused:

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

the only reason i can recall that name was that someone working at Hyndburn sportsy was called that in the 80s

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I remember him also, his first name was Pete I think.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Was a barbers of that name, can't remember where in accy, as i never used it.:confused:

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

His shop was at the corner of Holden Street and Richmond Hill Street in Accy

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Yes Pete Baci' did work at the Sports Centre a while ago..not sure if he is still there?

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

There was a lad by that name at the Grammar School in the 1940s.I remember him in my class.about 1944.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

There has been at least one thread on here about this family. Use Sewartch on the top line ,type in Bacigalupo or barber ,then posts.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

In the 1950s I worked with a Eric Bacigalopo at Lang Bridge in Exchange street, he was a skilled centre lathe turner I was an apprentice, he had a slight stutter a very nice person.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Googling Bacigalupo points back to this a thread on this forum, here is a link to it http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...aly-51570.html

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

192.com lists a Peter Bacigalupo as living in Oswaldtwistle several years ago. The Pete I knew from the Sports Centre would be in his 60's now. Palled about with John McIntyre who also worked there.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

just looked on the map ,,warner street near the bottom, showing kays hairdressers, at present, unless i have been dreaming i remember vaguely bacigalupo cutting hair in this area,must have been a long time ago, 40-50 years ago, but not oversure.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Yes . It's the same one who was originally on Richmond Hill St .

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Ya I can remember the barbers on Warner St. being Bacugalupo

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Remember as a lad brothers Basigalupo opening a men's barbers in Whalley Rd top of Canal St Clayton-le- Moors

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Seem to recall an individual by that name who had something to do with 7 a side leagues at the sports centre, also that his partner was drop dead gorgeous.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I remember that ... first place I went for a real haircut:D

Later, when I lved on Rishton Rd., I went to a place on Lower Barnes St., close to the Forts ... can't remember the name of the barber tho'.

A while back, I mentioned the name, "Bacigalupo" to an Italian bud of mine. He said that name was most common in Southern Italy, especially Naples.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

i think he cut my hair a couple of times, i remember he had an excellent name in the hairdressing trade, every one who used him spoke well of him, i know i used to come down from ossy,

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I have a feeling he was called Danny, kept men's requisites top shelf.
Remember Jack Thornton half way up Barnes St, always cricket on the radio when you went in.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I remember Jack Thornton. I used to live just around the corner on Queen St.. What was the name of that bakery kitty corner to Jack's shop? They made damn fine pies:theband:

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

i think the old saying was,,"anything for the weekend sir", they was the main agents for condoms,

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

You mean something like this:

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

All changed to houses now, and no I can't remember the name I do remember her making extra large pink meringue's with loads of fresh cream in them. Do you remember the girl who became a top class archer from around there.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

No ... doesn't ring a bell. I moved out of Queen St. after my parents divorced and stayed with my grandad on Rishton Rd. I think I was five at the time.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Well you've introduced me to a new expression there Eric. Never heard "kitty corner" before, had to look it up.

PS I see my very erudite and obvious post above has been deleted. No surprises there then. But thanks for the like anyway - I still got that!

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

You should have gone with "Richard cranium":D

Sometimes North American expressions slip into my posts ... Just habit ... "Kitty corner" is quite a normal way of giving directions over here ... a lot simpler than saying "on the other side of the street at a diagonal across the intersection" (pronounced "innersection", of course;))

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Barbara Feilding I think..she ran with Accy Roadrunners in her later years.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

When I lived in Hassy Barbara's Aunt lived next door, when I moved back to Ossy she used to come in the Stop and Rest, she once brought her bow and a target into the lounge to let us have a go. In fact there were quite a few Foxhill Bowmen drank in the Stop in those days:)

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

That's the girl.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Just been corrected by the current Mrs P.:eek:

Val Robinson OBE ran with Accy RR (mentioned on these forums)

Barbara Feilding is a golfist.

Re: bacigalupo,?

Bottom of Warner Street, Cashy.

He cut my hair on the morning of my wedding, 4th June 1966

Trouble was, I hadn't told anyone that I was going for a haircut, & the in-laws thought I'd absconded!!
(No mobiles back then!)

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Ah musta seen it when i used to go to Bodens fer me dinner.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

That takes the forum round and back again C...didn't one of the Bodens (Bowdens?) go out with Carol Duckett? Pete or Phil? Mog do you know?

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Can't remember D, if so money would be on pete,? someone told me awhile ago he lives in far east now,Thailand in mountains i think they said.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Albert Bacigalipo i think i am right his daughter married Bert Scott pleyed for Stanley

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Never knew that n have known Bert 40 yrs or so .:)

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

There was a Barber, by that name, who had a shop in the 1940's, about 200 - 300 yards down on the left hand side of Henry St (coming from Blackburn Rd) just before either Barnes or Edward St I'm leaning towards Barnes St (my memory fails me at times).

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Hi,
I can recall in the fifties and sixties a barber on Warner St. with the name of "Bacigalupo".

Cheers

Philip Kenyon
late Belfield Rd.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Yes , and the same Bacigalupo prior to his shop on Warner Street had had a barber's shop on Richmond Hill Street .

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I think you're wrong there C. The chap you are referring to was called Eric Bernasconi. I worked with him in the early 70's for a couple of years at Clayton Goodfellow Engineering at the bottom of Audley Range in Blackburn. I remember him telling me he worked at Lang Bridge before it closed down. We had some good laughs with Eric, I remember the stammer.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

There was an Accrington bobbie called Bernasconi- a local lad.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

I'm pretty sure Eric grew up on Bishop Street, just around the corner from Hudson Street in the same area of Woodnook. He must be related to these two brothers.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Hi there JCB,
Sorry but can't remember him having a shop on Richmond Hill street.
Cheers

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

It's going back to the 1950s . The first barber's I ever went to .

There was a ladies' hairdressers upstairs , possibly Bacigalupo's wife's .

Maybe it was Higher Antley Street and not Richmond Hill Street . I'm not absolutely certain now that I come to think of it .

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

It was Richmond Street which runs parallel to Higher Antley Street. Richmond Hill Street runs 90 degrees to these two.

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

No , it's Richmond Hill Street and Higher Antley Street which run parallel to each other .

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

Oooops! Thanks for putting me right JCB
