Hi Wynonie, Im afraid its beem 35 years since I left Accy, but good to Know there are some people keeping me up to date with the demolition , whoops sorry, Progress of Accy, such as yourself & Atarah, Depresion has set in, Churches gone, cinemas gone, pubs gone, schools gone, friends & relations gone, the Observer is not the same my family over there tell me they have even put a motorway through our old house in Blackburn rd, Clayton. Bloody Hell who would have thought this would have happened 35 yrs ago. My brother Kevin said he was in Accy for a funeral a couple of weeks ago, and tried to buy some flowers, but could,nt find a florist. ( he lives in Ilkley ). My Mum & dad Are still around they live in Blackburn, but dont get to Accy much. When I come to see them this year, I will make the pilgrimage to Clayton & accy and I thank Atarah & other web members for preparing me for the shock.
