Replies: 115 Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Views: 3,452 Posted By garinda Re: Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Looking at it today, where the shop entrance is now, would have been the side of the property. Visually, the front of the property is on Bridge Street. Might be wrong. Have a look, next time...

Replies: 115 Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Views: 3,452 Posted By garinda Re: Bridges of Accrington(Historical) If it is late Georgian, circa 1830, it makes sense the front of the property would have been on Bridge Street. Perhaps it turned, so to speak, with a front made on the gable end, as the importance...

Replies: 115 Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Views: 3,452 Posted By garinda Re: Bridges of Accrington(Historical) I just tried to photograph a good view of the house on Google, and my lappy went loopy, so gave up. It's odd. Dual purpose. From one side it's a shop fronted property. Go around the...

Replies: 115 Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Views: 3,452 Posted By garinda Re: Bridges of Accrington(Historical) That's it. The side on Bridge Street looks like a three story Victorian town house, with that being the front of the property, and the gable end being the end with the clock, in the photo.

The end gable being on Blackburn Road, and now the music shop front. If you go on Google Street view you can see it, including an odd, filled in window. Thanks for...

Replies: 115 Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Views: 3,452 Posted By garinda Re: Bridges of Accrington(Historical) Sorry for the resurrection, but doesn't really qualify for a new thread, and this was the only one that seemed at all fitting.
