Another hello for Accrington ex-pat

I was born in Accrington, and my family - on both sides - have lived and worked there for longer than I can trace back. I went to primary school in Accrington. Miss Caufield's if anyone remembers her. The school was off to the right off Abbey Street (as you came down from Manchester Road) but has long been demolished. I lived on Hollins Lane and then on Manchester Road. I grew up playing in Oak Hill Park and occasionally Haworth Park, though I preferred Oak Hill. And sometimes I went to St George's playground. Bet that's been demolished too. And, as a student, I used to work at Calogen Foam. Does that still exist?

Hi John .... Thanks for your introduction LOL.
Remember Miss Caulfields ... used to live next door to Mrs. Backhouse who taught there, if she were there when you were. You missed out how old you are ... not that I would be so impolite to ask like.
