Oh brilliant memories there Doug. Now I wonder if anyone remembers where "The Doormat" was.
Hey, Doug .. you remember when you caught a bus that was new on the road, great excitement, had a wonderful smell, didn't it ? If I shut my eyes, can smell it now .. mmmm .. loverly ...
blimey Kate cant say i sniff buses myself personally but each to us own
Nice shots, Doug. I must've missed those, as usually I bid on any Accy bus pics that appear on ebay. Great shot of the old DDS&S club. I enjoyed many a pint in there, even though I've never taken the Queen's Shilling!
I remember the Tobaconist shop where likes of barclays bank is now, used to get me grandads pipes from there for him [well me mum did]
Oooh yes, Woods. They sort of had two shops one in Union St and one on Blackburn Rd but they interconnected. One was more fancy goods and the other was more tobacconist.
Yup thats the one - frequented the both, nice people that owned & served in there tho
I remember buying some candles there once, in little rose shaped pots. Yes I was a candle nutter even i those days.
Just seeing those fairly recent pictures reminds me of how I think Accrington has gone downhill.
...me too, and I was depressed enough (for obvious reasons) to start with!
It's long gone and there's some modern building there in its place...a bank?
That's it, Mel, the Halifax. Walked past it today, too.
