We had sheep at Plantation Mill in Accrington and drove them to the abbatoir passed the Bull and Hyndburn Road.
Accrington butchers rented individual stalls; Chadwick Bros (Joe & Harry)
Thomas Grime, Slingers, Walter Henderson, George Feathers and a few more from Accy Market.
I could tell you a funny story about events at the abbatoir but I don't think my mates stomach would stand it so I'll keep that on the back burner.
I might have had a brew with your grandad?
