Re: Accrington Arndale
Did you know, the word Arndale is derived from the combined names of Arnold and Chippendale?
Why would they do that? What was wrong with Chippenold? 'Just popping down the Chippie, to that shop, whose name I've forgotten.' Arndale Centre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Accrington Arndale
I don't remember things that are of no importance to me....why clog up vital brain space with stuff like this?
