Hi Folks . . .
Am new to the Accy Site. Having been born and reared in Great Harwood I moved to accrington in 1963 when I married a girl from the town. I served an engineering apprenticeship at the then English Electric, but then moved on to a career with the Lancashire Constabulary which took us away to other parts of the county for several years. My good lady and I are now both past our sell by dates having returned to Accrington with our family in the 1980's. I have to say that Accrington is not the town I knew in my early years of marriage, when everyone knew everyone and there was full employment. Many of the best features of the town seem to have been lost or sold off to little or no advantage.
Kind Regards . . . Stumped
