Recent Photos Of Accrington
 

I have been living in Germany For The Past 8 Month's, Feeling A Bit Home Sick, Was just Wondering if Any One Has Any Modern Photos Of Accrington. Also If Any One Has Any Recent Photos Of The Abbey On Bank Street That Would Be Nice, I Worked There For 3 Years And Managed It For The Last 6 Months Of My Time In England.

Haven't got any photos Beermonster, Just looked up Zell im Wiesenthal...guess what...I was in Müllheim (Zunzingen actually)last weekend, about 30kms away. Wish I'd have known I'd have popped round for a bier or 3. Could have brought the wife (from Spring Hill), and a couple of little Accy books to get rid of your homesickness.

I go about twice a year to Zunzingen, to see my mates widow and her family. If you are still there next year I'll call round!

The Abbey (or ... the Black Abbey?)

What a fantastic shot, keep them coming Atarah. I just feel as I was roaming round on a Saturday morning 30 years ago. it would have been P****** down then an all.

Great photo Atarah. Sometimes I think we take our architecture for granted. There really are some very nice buildings when you look around - lets hope HBC doesn't get it into its head to demolish them to make way for more modern developments.

Im with you Doug, it brings tears to my eyes, keep em coming Atarah, I cant thank you enough. I always take a look at your site. If your ever in Clayton could you take a photo of 57 Atlas St, on the corner with Sydney St, accross the from the Royal Mill. It was where I was born. My Uncle Jimmy still lives next door, he's lived there for about 70 yrs, he's 95.

Here we are, 57 Atlas St - but I can't take credit for them. Busman was down that way earlier today.

Many, many, thanks to you both I have printed them off to show my two sons. They ( The photos ) should keep me going till I get over,I was going to come over this year but had a big setback, so it will have to be middle of next year. Once again WOW & Busman, thanks. I was conceived and produced in that upsairs bedroom, 56 yrs ago. Don't know weather it was a good thing or a bad thing have'nt made much of a mark on the world.
