Cahman, thank you so much, I knew there was blue on the walls, everyone including my 85yr old dad doesnt remember it, all they remember is Backbarrow which is now a hotel.
I now live in Kent but will be in Lancashire next month for our 40th wedding anniversary and will make a bee line there although I suspect I may not recognise it now and the blue will have gone but yes it was in the 1950 I remember it.
Would you be kind enough to tell me the name of the road where the bridge is/was if you know it and thanks once again for your reply.
When I find out if I can add pictures I will show you my Dolly and Blue
p.s. what are 20 steps ??
