but not comming from this area i am not sure 
it would be interesting to know more though so if anyone know's or can help please post |
I was brought up in the Church Area and as far as I can see the heart has long gone because of the new roads and loss of industry. Hyndburn Road was never like it is now when I was growing up on Riding Barn Street but I am afraid that is progress(or so they say). I would have the old Church back anytime, but that isn't going to happen
