Hi Keith do remember you just looked at your photo. I think your Jean was nearer my age. I used to live near the Sacred Heart on Blackburn Road. Do you remember the Flynn family. Dad Charlie quite a character. I love in Australia now have been here for 42 years but coming HOME this year. I live in Coffs Harbour so not that far from you. Been reading all the nostalgia today about Uncle Dick and Sadie. Joe Morts etc. Went back in 2007 ?what happened. The market is not the same. No fish stalls or tripe barrows. Missed the smell of the bacon in Redman's. Things aint what they used to be.

More or less sure the cafe near the rear door have them on the menu but if not sure we will find them somewhere for you:rolleyes:
 
my memory of betty birtwistle was her walking up first blackburn road then abbey street every morning towards the palmer riley electric distributors shop where she worked for quite a while sure george walker can confirm we have mentioned betty on different threads quite some time ago
 
I went back in July 1998, was terribly disapointed, everything seemed to be dull as if the life had been sucked out of the old town. Took me a long time to find a stall at the back of the Market Hall which sold tripe. What ever happened to those tripe dressers at the side of the Hall. Isn't anything sacred anymore

Yes Jack was very handy but unlike a few in Accrington in the early 60's he never looked for bother but neither did he run away from it, much to the discomfort to those that annoyed him.

I remember the Polish guy and I think your right Atarah he was called Joseph.  He used to sit infront of the Market Hall and very often with a very short man.

I am sure Joseph came from Clayton we used to see him coming up from the bottom end said hello to him many a times and got the salute from him lol.

The Flynn Family on Blackburn Rd ? If you are talking about 343 Blackburn rd nect to the Sacred Heart that would be my family. Is this the family you are talking about? how do you know them?
We lived there from 1969 -1988
