In the 1950s, there was a radio programme featuring Max Bygraves. he sang the title song "Our Street is Paradise Street" That made me smile, as Accrington had a Paradise St which ran from Eagle St to the Junction pub. It was anything but Paradise. I knew a very poor family who lived there, and even then thought it was bloody ironic. Knockcing it down was an improvement. There's some sort of health offices there now.
