Anyone any memories of old Pitt Street

The smallest house in Great Britain can be found on the quayside at Conway, N Wales. Bet not many of you know that here in Accrington we also had such a tiny house.

Any of you remember Pitt Street, which used to be the name for the stretch of road behind the shops on Abbey Street, the side where the Arden Pub is. Eastgate is the name you will know it as. You will all know the alleyway now blocked off on Abbey Street (it faces the top end of Warner Street) - next to a dentists and a butty shop. That alleyway took you through to Pitt Street. We always used it when coming into town from Accy College (after having been studying shortand and typing!!! ). I really dont know how long this tiny house survived, but I dont think I would have liked to live in it (easy to clean though! ).

Anyone any memories of this area of town?

(There was also a very tiny house on the bend on Nuttall Street. It was "tucked back" from the road and was more of less facing the bottom windows of the Star Pub)
