Use to watch the jerry planes come over, and see the search lights and ack ack fire from Salford way, was always getting pasted for hanging out of the bedroom window watching, when I should have been hard and fast asleep.

Is that not Hitchens wholesalers in the background which used to be on Hyndburn Road Walter[/quote]
Yes it was Hitchens, and where the AA gun is, some where near bottom of Fort St, on what used to be Ellison's Tenement.
The same place where the Accriungton Pals used to train in 1914,
