Is there a place in your town called 'L.A.'

Used to know a zany barman from down Sarf.,from E.?Lancs......with distinctive burr.......said he was from the aforementioned.....'Lower Accrington'......does it really exist? & yes he did 'play' the A.S.card when we 'slagged' him. Good salt he was.

It does exist, but I don't know of anyone who has yet found it.

Where abouts down "sarf" did this barman character work anyway and what was his name? There are a few exiles from East Lancs down here...he could be known.

The town was originally divided into Old Accrington and New Accrington. I have not heard of Lower Accrington nor indeed the implied Upper Accrington.

Never heard of lower Accrington, sorry, do you have any more details though?

cashman · 21-10-2005, 22:09

Sounds like Noel (forget the surname), mine genial host at the Barley Mow, Duke Street, London (between Oxford Street and Grosvenor Square) in the 90s. If you're reading this, best wishes. Though you probably won't remember me, as a smooth talking Irish Chelsea stalwart. I very rarely went to the bar.

Enjoyed the game Saturday even though I missed the chance to repeat my starring role as Worcester's mascot. I fancy your lot tonight though...

It's just under Higher Accrington, Red

Is it not the case that Lower Accrington is just a corruption in someone’s terminology? I.e. instead of stating Old Accrington they’ve used the term lower………….or perhaps they intended to explain that they are referring to that part of Accrington that sits low in the valley as opposed to the bit that up the sides of the hills.

Its over my head this upper lower old new Accrington, so i will just carry on calling it Accy.

Good luck to the Acc.for the rest of the season.....also enjoyed a v.brief nostalgic visit to Peel Pk.,which almost brought a tear to the eye!

Good luck also v.the K*ddyFiddlers shortly......No C*rpets!

Wonder if upper Accy was around the Hollins lane area with all its posh houses? And lower Accy was the terreced housing of the workers?
