Old Bus Tickets Accrington Corporation

Just seeing these brought back many memories.

Mainly of arguments, about whose turn it was to hold them this week.

Re: Accy Buses............

I saw an Accy red and blue on my way to work this morning. It was turning off Eastgate up Burnley Road and had a poster on the side saying something along the lines of - "Accrington Buses Centenary" along with pictures of coaches. Not sure if it was in service or if there were any passengers on board - was too busy swan necking at the poster.

As a child my mother lived in the house next to the Shoulder of Mutton when there were no buses up there .

She used to recall the celebrations when the first bus came to Green Haworth .

Every morning before school she went to the confectioners at the bottom of Fielding Lane for her grandad's special loaf of brown bread . Then she went back down again with her sister to St Mary's school on Moscow Mill St .

And before all that she had to go to the well at the other end of Cross Edge for water .

In later years she said that they never bothered , that it was just something they had to do .
