Re: one for the coffin dodgers.

No, from your description I am wrong Cashman. Bradshaws would have been left at the top of Broadway. Looking at my Accrington street map, I am guessing that it was on the corner of Whalley Road and...

Re: one for the coffin dodgers.

I'm not sure just where you mean but was it Bradshaws . . . . . owned by one Walter Bradshaw?

Re: Is Accy cricket the best?

Re: Babyland

Caz
Going back a little further than you were thinking, Barrett’s Directory for 1947 rather interestingly makes your recollection and mine coincide.

Re: Babyland

Re: Is Chivalry Dead

I think the pendulum is swinging back. I was brought up to be chivalrous (meaning courteous to ladies) and have always tried to practice it. There was a time, following the burning of the bras years,...

Re: Out Lavies and Coil Sheds

We were part way up Whalley Road . . . bit posh!! . . . just below the hospital.

donations to the forum

Re: Bryn Tirion whalley road accrington

I can't go back to the 1920s, but I lived on Whalley Road in the late 1940s. I regularly walked from town to the hospital and that phrase "bryn tirion" vaguely rings a bell. Could it simply have been...
