Two in a row for the poms. Well done on beating the best side in the world.....

Ah yes but look at the latest O.D.I. series. The poms got better and better. They just thrashed the Aussies 2-0 in the final. Now they should be playing the ashes since they have improved out of sight.:D

Hi all. Does anyone remember this view of Whalley Rd bridge. This is a place that is as familiar to me as the back of my hand. On the left is the Castle Hotel and on the right is Meadow St. The stone wall on the right encloses the front garden of a friend of mine Bob Howarth who used to live...

As someone mentioned above.The result was gutwrenching. For me it has happened twice now within a week. First, Australia with the penalty in the last second of the match.:mad: Second, taking solace in the fact that England was still there, I had to watch this match and see a similar kind of...

Can anyone tell me if the following people are still lakin around in accy please Walter Cookson, Peter Brockbank, Barry Davis, Jaqualine( nee Baxter)Martin Coyne ,John hesketh,Brian Rutter,Alan Bond,Jimmy Shanks, Kenneth Street, Jack Calvert,Jim Kemp,Anthony Thornton( nickname son)Valerie (nee...

Looks like there's not much left in Accy. In 1960 the population of Accy and district was just over 100.000(according to one of the local papers) So I suppose you could say that with the pits, cotton industry and engineering all going out the window and residents leaving for greener fields...

Thanks for that cashy. I thought my memories were on the blink. They probably are lol

Hi Doug. Have one here that you may not have seen. Not exactly what you may want. This piccy sends tingles up my spine of memories of the Bull Bridge urinal set in the wall around the 'stink'. I used to frequent it quite often in the 40's and 50's as a kid and then a youth. Just one thing...

My fault. Double post

Likewise TBS. Very memory provoking pics. My grannies sister, Ethel, used to be the cleaner at Accy station. I don,t know precisely what she cleaned(maybe the waiting rooms or summat):D but as a cheeky young lad I would constantly tell her she had missed a few bits. Stations all being dirty...

:D Yes Margeret you're right. It's now firmly ensconced into the Ozzy mentality. You just don't see anyone chucking rubbish on the street any more. It took alot of hard work over the last few decades or so but it worked. If anyone sees any on the ground (at least where I live) it's snaffled...

Is there any chance of getting all the rubbish in Accy' streets cleaned up on a regulat basis. Because some time ago I made the sweeping statement that Accy looked all lovely and clean from all the pics I had seen on this site, but Margeret Pilkington but me straight and let me know the truth...

Does anyone remember Hacking boat, or if people still visit there. As kids we were taken there by our parents often on Sundays to have a picnic. We would catch the Ribble bus in Melbourne St and get off at at Whalley then walk through an old abbey then through the fields where the Calder is...

In 1988 during a brief visit to Accy, I took my wife for a walk across the top of the coppy with the intention of showing her the old brickwork quarries where I used to fish and make it to 'Hapton Scouts' then down past an old firing range and back to Accy. Imagine my surprise when I came...

However, since I'm childish and not mature, I don't mind getting some occasionly:D :D
