I can remember going down to the river through the Abbey, but I don't remember the boat. I remember picnicking under the viaduct when it came on to rain. Whalley Abbey was one of our favourite places for Sunday picnics. I do remember that my mother would often take her umbrella "then it won't rain"!

There were some great places to go for a Sunday then, and it cost no more than the bus fare. I can remember walking from Whalley to Hurst Green, and then walking down to the river there - there was a pool which was a natural swimming pool, just deep enough and not much current. The family of one of my school friends had a cabin there - whatever happened to those?
