Good morning/afternoon/whatever applies!

I wondered if any of you oldies could shed some light on a subject I've never been able to get to the bottom of...

I've been told by various people whilst growing up in Accrington that there's an old bomb shelter either on or around the Coppice area?.. This might as well be urban myth as far as I’m concerned though because although I’ve spoken to people who assure me they’ve seen it/been in it, no one’s ever been able to tell me where exactly this ever elusive spot lies!

I’d like to think that I know the Coppice and it’s surrounding area like the back of my hand, I used to go running there regularly.. so if it does exist, WHY CANT I FIND IT?!?

If anyone could offer any information that might help clarify things then it would be gladly appreciated.

It may be that my bad memory is responsible for fostering this erroneous belief in my mind, but I’d like to know for sure, it would be awesome to find any truth behind it all.

Thanks for listening, I know I’m not exactly brilliant at writing..

your loving village idiot
