Hi Everybody
I've just joined this site which I found by accident while looking up bits and bobs about Accrington.
As you'll have guessed I am, originally, from West End. I was born there in 1943 (but don't tell anybody) and lived there until 1962 when I married. I went to St Marys School, then Paddock House. I've lived in various counties in England but for the past 30 years I have been here in Cheshire. I have lots of memories of Accrington; meeting friends on "the deck" on a Saturday (do people still do that?), the old open-air market, the Wayside coffee bar (1 cup of coffee could last all evening), the Odeon with its café. I don't suppose I'd recognise the place now. Nice to meet you all. I'll talk to you again soon. |

Re: Hi Everybody
Hello Mez
We just might know each other. I left St Marys in 1954, to go to Paddock, from Mrs Harrison's class when the head teacher was Miss Heaney. I believe Fred VanDome became head, later. Do you want to pm me with more info? |

Re: Hi Everybody
I just want to say how much I'm enjoying this website. It's good to "hear" people talking about places I used to know so well - it makes me feel quite nostalgic.
Nice to be made to feel so welcome. Thanks.
