Accrington Web - Today in pictures

That’s Water street. There used to be a newsagent who sold dinky toys on there and 70 plus years ago my mum used to buy my dinky toys from him.
I’ll be walking up there later today to the dentist.

Thanks, I couldn't remember the name... I've photographed it a few times whenever I go to Todmorden. I always find it an interesting street and place to photograph.

I'm not sure what this bit of metal was/is... but looked quite alien against the whiteness/bleakness of the landscape..

As you go up Water street in the direction of the photo up until 1888 you would be in Yorkshire. Over the river, which is Walsden Water, you would be in Lancashire.
The Town Hall behind you has statues depicting Lancashire cotton workers on one side and Wool on the other. The river flows right under the Town Hall and Market before joining the Calder. Originally it was the only town hall to be in two counties at once.
The boundary was changed in 1888 to follow the Town boundary so Todmorden became all Yorkshire.
Strangely enough it has a Oldham post code and telephone soaking code.
I was born in Todmorden early 1939.
