Accrington?

[Less]

Ignoring the happy chappie in the foreground can any-one recognise where the shops behind him are?

Bottom of church street.

 

[PatsyK]

I agree with Janet. I think it is at the bottom of Church St.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

I wish I'd had a look there when I was out just now. That green shop does look like "Almost Christmas" but the penultimate letter doesn't look as if it could be an "A"

 

[MITZY]

Don't know why but I think it is Warner Street

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

It's not the bottom of Church Street. Busman and I drove down there to look yesterday. We also drove all over most of Accy and couldn't find it but for some reason we didn't do Warner Street. I think it was on account of him saying he'd been down there recently and not seen anything like that.

 

[Less]

I'm glad it's proving elusive, because it's one of H*******lifes bits of scenery, & I for one could not think which part of Accrington it is.

 

[slinky]

Is the shop that is green not boot leggers I am sure it is, might be wrong though

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Less are you trying to tell us that possibly Hyndburnlite has used an illustration from somewhere other than Hyndburn???

 

[Atarah]

Hi, I DONT think its Church Street cos the reflection in the window looks like terraced property. In fact ... is it Accrington?????

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Well Busman and I have been all over the place in Accy and we can't find the location. Maybe it's in Rishton.

 

[PatsyK]

I think it was taken a few years ago in Church St. It looks like J & T Cosmetics that used to be there before it moved to the Arndale.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

A few years ago??? That's almost outside of living memory!!!!

 

[Uncle Mick]

Is it not up Little Blackburn Road, near the Canine??

 

[WINGY]

Blackburn rd, between the yorkshire bank and the hsbc?????

 

[Less]

Perhaps if we could trace the fire-man he could tell us, any-one recognise him?

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

If we aren't even sure of when let alone where, this makes it a bit harder to pin down doesn't it? I wonder if we can track down the happy chappie and see if he can tell us when it was taken?

 

[Uncle Mick]

It`s not round Accy town centre as I had a wander today. Union Road, Ossy?? By the way the firefighters name is Nick Issherwood.....it says so on his name badge!!

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

OK, so who is going to call at the fire station and ask if anyone knows Nick Isherwood?

 

[Retlaw]

I can tell you one thing, that happy chappie as you call him is a Station Officer in the Fire Brigade. As I know all the blokes at Accy, I've never seen him before.
