I've not posted on the Accy Web since October 2016 [it seems] but managed a quick visit in September. Got some more great pies at the shop in Henry Street and walked along the Canal, with my brother, to Hargreaves Mill. We were pleased to see that the Model Lodging House next door has been renovated. A couple of what seemed to be employees turned up but we were on the wrong side of the road at that point. Who's purchased it and for what purpose? Has anyone any up to date info to share?

The front of the building has been cleaned which doesn't seem to have damaged the very faded inscription over the door any further but it's still impossible to read. I asked about that once before but nobody seemed to know anything. Are there any overall up-dates about Church District in general I wonder? Is THE Church [Kirk] still boarded up and on sale? All responses welcome. I'm away from home at present so not able to check things out myself.

Sorry I'd failed to notice the two previous posts from Bolton and Wadey [ you wait for one post and two come along at once!]. I've identified the G Grandfather of a woman who lives near me in Rammy as a Resident at my home in 1891 as well and the photos sound interesting. I will get in touch with both helpful respondents directly as I doubt they will be watching the thread. I'm still focussed on the Church Lodging House of course.
