Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
Loved the pictures of Broadway from when I was a kid and I'm proud to say I did remember all the words to the song Happy days Pam

Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
Well Pam, don't know about you..... but the Saturday club was the highlight of my week.....must've sung that ditty hundreds of times.
If I was ever to be punished for anything it was by not being allowed to go to the Saturday Club! |

Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
Hello there
I'm new to this site and was delighted to see the pictures of the old Odeon looking just like I remember it. I used to catch the 46 (I think) Blackburn bus at a stop next to the gardens, to go home to West End, a long time ago. I have relatives still living in Blackburn but none left in Accrington or Oswaldtwistle now so I haven't seen Accrington for at least 10 years. I had no idea that Woolworths had "moved". The pictures bring back many memories. |

Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
Hi West Ender, yes that would have been a 46 bus. The number 9 did the same route but it didn't stop at all the stops. I remember catching the Huncoat bus on Broadway too.

Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
That would be when Broadway had a definite function.......I could happily see it go back to that. I'm sure it would regenerate the centre a bit.

Re: Odeon Cinema Accrington
I only ever remember catching the Huncoat bus in Broadway. It was a loooooong time ago.
Do you remember the Burnley bus stop was outside Melbourne House?
