I was in the Accy Mall Heritage Centre today and had a great chat with 'Attarah' who is a fount of local knowledge and a truly lovely lady!
We talked about lots of stuff and as I was brought up on Within Grove I too remember the Aerial Cable System over Burnley Road. It traversed the road just before the St Augustine's Vicarage, which was the next house on the right, as you head towards The Griffin's Head pub.
I too remember the triangle of rail track and tipper trucks at the quarry and the one at the end of the Cableway near to the REDAC works
at the bottom of the football pitch on the spoil hill, used now by Huncoat United FC.
