Now I have been shown how to put photos on (Thanks to Owd Bert) I am gonna have another go now. This is one of my most favourite photos. The room still looks like this, totally untouched, and is the back room of a property in Accrington centre. You can guess where it is, but .......

Hi Atarah,
Should there be more text after "but" ?

Tealeaf · 19-01-2004, 10:34

Hi Atarah,
Further to my previous message -- with the greatest respect, -- if that`s your favourite photo I don`t reckon much for your taste -- please show us the one you detest.

...Or possibly the burglars have been & nicked all the furniture. I give up trying to guess where it is anyway.....It appears to be an attic, it's big & the only other clue appears to be the window....& I can't recall seeing a window (from the outside) like that in the piccy.

So Who Lives In A House Like This........

Lets look at the evdience....its an attic, which is big and look at that window its just like.. a normal window but different.. with a view to the outside and the emptiness in this attic is just huge... it could be filled with lots of things... like furniture or perhaps boxes of junk but obvioulsy this person likes open spaces which is good cos they have got that here.....

Tealeaf.... Its Over To You....

Nope, it is NOT an attic, its just a back room in an old terraced property. How about going back in time a bit ...."hand loom weavers cottage" ???

A Possibility is the front centre roof part of the market hall, although atarah says this is the rear of a building. That really can't be seen fully from ground level & if you imagine you are looking towards the rear of the market hall clock then you could accume you would be looking at an access door for the clock mechanism, & this does not appear to be the case.

Question. Why is there no window on the right hand side? Is that because there is an adjoining structure, which would rule out the above.

Why does Atarah call this a backroom, when it looks like an attic?

Tealeaf · 19-01-2004, 11:45

Atarah, what are you defining as "town centre"?

Atarah · 19-01-2004, 11:47

The Town centre conservation area

Tealeaf · 19-01-2004, 11:56

OK then.....It's possibly one of the buildings up Abbey Street or just round the corner at the back of the Eastern side of Manchester Road.....don't know the name of the street, but it's a shop seelling some thing & I can't remember what...
