Tony I really should pay more attention and read previous post, its not Gas Street, of course its Electricity Street like you say, its me who's the numpty. I remember now because a mate worked in the stores at Gillies on Electricity Street back in the 70s, I used to work near Gas Street in Bacup in the 70s was confusing the two
