Hello my name is Anne and I was born and bred in Accrington, went to Holy Family School and my family used to work on the market. Just thought I might be able to find some old friends on here. Take care everyone!
Hello Anne and Welcome......did your family have a fruit stall on the market.?
And have you a brother who went into the legal profession/
Heck, this sounds like twenty questions.

Hello Margaret ....yes my mum had a fruit stall on the market until 1966 or there abouts. My brother is a Chartered Accountant whose premises where on Avenue Parade...now turned back into two houses. My cousin is a solicitor though. You sound as if you knew of us?
I worked in a little cooked meat shop on the Market in the early sixties..no not Len's...it was Slingers....and if your mum was little and very dapper(she always wore a nice hat) and worked on the stall..yes I knew her and your bother...and your cousin too.
One of them was dark haired and handsome...and used to set my heart a flutter(I was only 16) but alas, he never noticed me.
