Re: OWL HALL and ACCRINGTON HOUSE
Wow. Local history is so interesting. Its amazing how much you can learn about the history of Accrington on one website!!! Never knew there was an Accrington House!! I thought that all those terraced houses on and surrounding Oswald Street had been there forever (I'm young). Hard to believe that where all the terraced houses now stand used to be just empty land. (Thats the illusion I get when I look at a photo I found of Accrington House. - correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like its just surrounded by all empty field). I'd also love to see what Arden Hall used to look like if anybody has a photograph. And does andbody know why Arden Hall and Accrington House were demolished?
Regards...

Re: OWL HALL and ACCRINGTON HOUSE
Accrington House was demolished to make room for streets of houses. The Peels made a lot of dosh from selling the land for housing, and didn't want to be surrounded by the streets. They had already moved from a fine house at Church when it became surrounded by factories. I don't know about Arden Hall
