Ah well, presumed it was named appropriately so didn't study the pic any further!

So where was the the pic taken that is named "warnerstreetsecret1"? we never did find out (the empty room)

Hi Cazzer, sorry, forgot to say, it's behind one of the shops on the top block of Warner Street.

Both photos being discussed along are taken from the archives of accringtonpipeband (.org.uk) and can be found alongside the bands history and more photos.

The first photo is the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Parade 1897, the Band had been going for 12 years.

It might say Grange Lane at the bottom of the picture, but it can't be.
Upper Grange Lane was nowt but a mud lane, and uphill, on the picture they are on level ground.
(see pictures of Grange Lane when Fire Station was being built)
As for the lower part of Grange Lane, there is no straight part, its like a double S from Spring Gardens to Church St.

The lady you can see in the bottom RH corner is actually stood in front of what I always knew as Shuttleworths printers, but is now flats.
Nice one!

Ged of wi thi, take the photo, and stand in the place you describe. The pipers are marching on a level road, that part of Welly Bob St is uphill, and if it is there, where is the old yard, wheres the old joiners shop that stood in the old yard, before they built the police garage.
remember the short cut you use'd to cut from Grange lane to Well Bob

Hey! I too, like you, have lived in this area all my life, and, dear Retlaw, I am politely informing you, IT IS WELLINGTON STREET.
Trust me! The gable end which is visible roughly half way up (on the left hand side) is the one that is now painted "mock tudor".

All right keep your hair on, I'll be going tomorrow to have a butchers, if I'm wrong I'll hold me hand up, still looks too level fo me, the 1909 map shows spare land where the old joiners shop was, facing bottom of Russell St. Remember Alan Walker who lived on Lemoni St, he worked there at one time.

Yep! spot on. Just looked on google streetmaps and you can position yourself virtually in the same position and you get the same view. I would respectfully say though that I think the lady is standing on the corner of the bottom of Russell st and not further down near Nuttal st.

Yep, thats correct as I mentioned years back in thread no. 14, she is standing by the corner of what was Shuttleworths the printer (i.e. corner of Russell St). Glad you are on the same wavelength as moi!

Had a look at Welly Bob St, from the corner with Nuttall St, and grudgingly I have to admit that Atarah's right. She's just left here with a big grin on here face, never mind I'll find sumat to wipe the grin off er clock.
Whilst were were looking at the 1909 Map of Accy we spotted something we'd never heard of before, Catholic Apostolic Church, now thats a new one.
