I love local stories from years gone by so I thought I'd start a little reminiscing thread. One were people might read and think I remember that and add their own little tale ...... A little bit like 'Do you remember when Princess Diana visited Accrington ........' I can, I was one of the little ones sat on the wall waving my flag at the pretty lady in the posh car

One story my mum used to tell me (I can't remember I wasn't even a twinkle in my parents eye) was how the river used to flood at the bottom of Bank St/Bridge St. Anyone else remember it?

Anyone have any 'can you remember' stories?
