Re: Big fire accrington
Cab driver, taking me for my M.O.T. at Blackburn Royal, said it was causing chaos.

Perhaps it was someone just a bit slow, and they were lighting it like they lit bonfires for the Silver Jubilee...in 1977.

Re: Big fire accrington
Given the amount of security in the area, I'm surprised that whoever started the fire as mentioned in the Telegraph article wasn't caught on the way into the building?

Way off topic, but do all you old farts (like me) remember what you were doing when JFK was shot? For me, I was playing snooker in the Con Club with Sid Wright and Ray Barker. The old club is not quite the fighting Temeraire, but I think it's sad to see dignified things come to an ignominious end.

Was a cracking venue in its day and I think most of our generation used it in our days Eric, there were extensive renovations in 72 when the first two floors were revamped, I actually worked on it at the time, the dance hall was done around 88 but when dry rot was found it was just too much of an outlay to keep it going, its now like a bomb site I only took a look last summer. It was at one time the second biggest Tory Club in England
