Welcome to Huncoat
Whos' idea was it to build a brick wall opposite to the Texaco garage in Huncoat saying "Welcome to Huncoat" I thought that the council were short of money.

Re: Welcome to Huncoat
no no you misunderstand councils are only short of money when it is needed for things of actual use and importance but theres an endless bucket of wealth for trivial and lunartic ideas
 unless of course the wall was built and paid for free of charge by voulenteers ,do you know who funded it ?

Re: Welcome to Huncoat
I were going to ask the same question!
Anyway I thought Burnley Rd was still Accrington not part of Huncoat?

Re: Welcome to Huncoat
Huncoat became part of Accrington c 1928. At that time, Clayton, Altham & Church rejected the idea.

Re: Welcome to Huncoat
I noticed it the other day, no idea how long it has been there as I don't often pass that way.
I quite liked it and can have half a guess who was involved with it.
