Thanks to dear old Beeching the railway station and tracks are a shadow of their former self. It was a magnificent Booking Hall with six tracks in and out of Accrington. I grew up in Spring Hill from 1937 to 1967 and have to agree, it is a tragedy what has happened to a once proud town.

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

It was originally called Alkerington. St. James's Church is a Norman church. We used to call it the River Hyndburn 'The River Stink' because that is what it did.

Thanks for posting this link, I have seen parts of it before but no the whole thing. A Mr Strak had it back in the 80s and 80s when I was a regular traveller up those lanes.

Einfach genial 👍simply just amazing to see how things have change to the town to which I was born in back in 1971,,,,as I now reside in Germany....but Strange enough as only the Native Folk of Accrington are to be seen 😃thanks again for sharing your memories with us🤞

nice video mate. i was born in Huncoat 1954 but my dad joined the Metropolitan police and from a year old i grew up in London. we used to come back to stay with my auntie in Oswaldtwistle and my sister and i always liked going into Accie. i remember trickets ice cream a unique taste and those lovely crimson/navy blue buses that i found out were a tribute in the colours of 'The Accrington Pals' who were decimated on the Somme 1916. i live in Liverpool now but always look out for Accrington Stanley's footie results. you can take the lad out of Accrington..but you can't take Accrington out of the Lad!

The buses are more Maroon and Blue. My Grandfather was in the Accrington Pals.

Accrington is a ghost town now its gone to the dogs.

[@Going-Full-Circle]

It's good to see Accrington through the past and present. It's always going to be home to me even though it has gone down hill a bit. Have faith that all other places that it will come back to life again if we all work together and it comes back to a nice town again.

@@kamranchuahan8025 I have had to refresh my memory of the road system, I know one of the first things I saw was the clock on the Town Hall which I hadn't seen before. Church street seem like the likely place next door to Duckworths pie shop.

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

Was that in Dutton Street ?

[@spex357]

@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 It may well have been in the same shop as the opticians on Dutton street is in now.
