I can remember the troops coming back from the Korean War, and what was written on the green painted boarding that bordered the land the sunken gardens were laid on, "Why should our sons die for Yankee in Korea" apologies to my American cousins but that statement was written at the time,1952. The march past of the troops seemed to me (a child then) take forever they were going to Burnley Barracks.

I think McFisheries was opposite the Town Hall and then moved onto Broadway. My Mum used to buy fish there.

Re: Years Gone By

Can anyone else remember Worzel Gummidge heading the Accrington Carnival procession? I distinctly remember that as he was one of my favourite characters on TV at the time. Have we had any more famous people in the carnivals?
