Hello
My niece has persuaded me that I should re-establish links with my home town, so here I am.
My wife, Anne (nee Molloy from Haslingden) left Accrington when I enlisted in the R.A.F. in 1961. There have been numerous visits over the years, but since leaving the R.A.F. in 1979 we moved around the world quite a bit, and lived in many places in U.K. but Accrington always remained my spiritual home. I hope that I will be able to establish contacts with friends from those days, and a couple of relatives whom i have lost track of. |

Re: Hello
I have been racking my brains to remember names - Relative, Vincent Ryder - School, Jack Hartley - Friends, Keith Kitchener (Son of "Jason" the Observer Sports writer), Johnny Marshall, Pete Graveson, Bernard Cronshaw, Ken Entwhistle, Kenny Mitchell - Girls, Doreen Mills, Marion ? (lived in a small village on outskirts of Haslingden). At my age the memory isn't what it was, not too bad long term, but have to put some effort and time into the memory activation.
I will continue to attempt to remember other names in the coming days but if any of the aforementioned, or anyone who knows them can pust me in touch I will be very gratefull. I hope to be in Accrington late June, to see me niece and to pick up some supplies - Greenwood's chees and some black puddings. You can take a lad away from Accrington but you cannot take Accrington away from the lad. An aside - the Frank Hoyle Cup, used to be my Sunday afternoon chore to polish it to earn the entrance for me and a girl to the Odeon Cinema - he was my uncle. |
