Anyone got any ideas?
For those of a certain age, my uncle, Tony Marsden ran a fish stall on Accrington Market most of his adult life. Does anyone remember him?

Hello Steve and welcome. Can't help you with Albion Yard but I do recognise the name Tony Marsden. My grandad Bert Creasey ran the family fish business, I Creasey, on the fish market all his life until the end of the fifties. I remember seeing Tony's name but can't put a face to him sadly. You might find the attached pic of the fish market in the fifties interesting. Our stall was at the far end near the Town Hall and I remember going down on Good Friday with my grandad's dinner in a basket as he had to work on that day of course being fish.
Hope you enjoy Accyweb
