Yes I seem to recall a couple of them round that area back in the day, And a little later (80s) there was a chap (I think he was known locally as dancing billy) who I use to see all the time round were animal magic and the fish market use to be.
With all these rotting buildings in Accrington it's a shame nobody has turned one into a shelter,I believe there was talks of one down church but I haven't heard anything more about it.
