Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
Ah 48/49 was well before my time - I'm talking about the 1970's! The rhodedendrons at Arden Hall were fabulous - not been up there for prob 20 years - making me nostalgic - due a visit to Accy in Oct so I might just have to take a walk up there!!

There was a bumper crop of whimberries on the Coppice this year. Saw many people with plastic bags full late July - early August. The heather was also quite spectacular along with some naturally seeded rhodedendrons. It's a shame more people don't walk up the Coppice and enjoy some fresh (sometimes very fresh) air. The main paths are being renovated at the moment so maybe it will encourage people to give it a go. |

Is The Bridge more up baxenden way ? If so I remember Dave and Sue - I came back to England - well must be ten years or more now - to show my husband where I grew up. If this is the pub I'm thinking of, they were very kind and friendly to us. |

From when I was a nipper on visits to Accy, Speedway Garage (now a tyre depot) on Ellerbeck Rd, where I used get in the way of Albert Brown and his dad.
I also used to "help" the stoker in the laundry behind Whalley Rd. Upstairs in The Mechanics Institute helping Grandad play billiards. This was the library last time I visited Accy, but I recognised the stairs. |
