Yes, for years we were thinking of coming up your way but somehow we headed in the opposite direction. We'd been looking at old stone built cottages and beamed ceilings then ended up both falling in love with a new build! Certainly not predictable are we?

I took this photo today of where Elephant Street no longer is. This is now part of St. Leger Court which covers the whole of that area on the side of Plantation Street between Abbey Street and Cobham Road.

Well I'm sure Willi will appreciate it too but I love seeing old photos and being able to relate to them. I vaguely remember Elephant St and yet there are those younger than us who doubt it ever existed.:D I walked along it once on my way to a dance at a youth club and it's just really lovely to...

Oooh lovely. :) Thanks for that Atarah.

Indeed it is Atarah, as you can see on the inset map. The area from Cobham St (now Cobham Rd) down to Abbey St between Plantation St and Birtwistle St is the area which was demolished and now has a totally different layout.

It is no longer there Willie. That whole side of Plantation St has been totally rearranged.

Does anyone know anything about the "famous" Accrington witch Jenny Sheldrake? Until today I'd never heard of her but presume she featured around the time of the Pendle Witches.

:o Ooops, that was my fault Neil. I created the site. Initially I didn't have a museum photo - hence the temporary viaduct which I altered but being a forgetful sort of a person I had completely forgotten the hasty title and typo which were crying out to be corrected. Any other anomalies you...

I'm not worried about the arrival of smart meters. I've armed myself with orgone accumulators! They should keep me safe. ;)

It's called synchronicity that Kestrel - David Icke is a great believer in it.

It's worth enquiring at different places what price they are offering. Sometimes the jewellers offer more. The price is on the way down at present though.

.....and also of course 28:19 which explains why Christians feel the need to share their beliefs with others. The thing is that Christians are just people, like anyone else be they Jew, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist or even atheist. We're all human. We're probably all trying to live our lives the best...

It sounds like this chap had a "what if, just supposing" moment and then looked for substance to back up his notion. I'd be more ready to believe a space alien/human cross breed than a pig and ape one. For the various humanoid/neanderthal and what have you species there would have to have been...

On the positive side, it's a nice part of town with easy access to town centre and on a bus route so the gritter does tend to go up and down the road in winter. Whether or not it chucks out any grit depends on how much the council has left! On the negative side it is a flippin busy road and...

Absolutely Eric. :da:
