Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

Many thanks to Accy Lass for the prompt, what is your favorite part of Accy and surrounding area???

Mine is sitting on the Peel Monument atop the coppice and looking over the town.:)

Also playing army on the coppice and jumping in and out the trenches.;)

That was nearly 30 years ago now, how time flies.:eek:

You did it:)

My favourite place in Accy has to be the area I live now (Laneside)

So many nice people, we walk out of the door and before we even get to the shop
we have spoken to about 5 people, it's great:)

I don't suppose it's just round here, but I do like it:D

My best memories of Accy (I haven't been out in town for years) was the Bridge Inn when Dave and Sue Johnson had it (Sues the present Mayoress) Used to go in most lunch times and few nights playing pool

the old Accy baths when I was a youngster

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

The parades on a sunday when i was a kid marching through ossy and the big drums..lol

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

going to the old Accy baths.....coming out with hair dripping wet and going to the chippy across the road for a bag of chips if we had enough money or a bag of scraps if we were skint.
Spending the long (mostly sunny days) of the summer holidays in Bullough Park,,,,,buying a penny hovis loaf and a halfpenny spanish....making a drink of spanish water in a medicine bottle (glass) to take to the park so that I didn't have to come home for something to eat and drink.
Playing in the brook in Priestley clough........catching indeterminate fish and keeping them in Jam jars.

The 'pop' man coming on a Friday, drinking Stantons Dandelion and burdock out of a huge stone bottle...that or sarsaparilla.
Happy days...alas, now long gone.
