No great landmark, but special to me. Used to jump over the steam coming out of the grate on Queens Road outside the mill on Friday night, when the boilers were packing up for the weekend I suspect. Must have been happening all over Accrington.
 
Queens road always seem to have big puddles & overfilled grates - many o'time been drenched by cars whilst walking home from school tho i think the mill was before my time
