It's good to see Accrington through the past and present. It's always going to be home to me even though it has gone down hill a bit. Have faith that all other places that it will come back to life again if we all work together and it comes back to a nice town again.

Thanks to dear old Beeching the railway station and tracks are a shadow of their former self. It was a magnificent Booking Hall with six tracks in and out of Accrington. I grew up in Spring Hill from 1937 to 1967 and have to agree, it is a tragedy what has happened to a once proud town.

It was originally called Alkerington. St. James's Church is a Norman church. We used to call it the River Hyndburn 'The River Stink' because that is what it did.

Thanks for posting this link, I have seen parts of it before but no the whole thing. A Mr Strak had it back in the 80s and 80s when I was a regular traveller up those lanes.

nice video mate. i was born in Huncoat 1954 but my dad joined the Metropolitan police and from a year old i grew up in London. we used to come back to stay with my auntie in Oswaldtwistle and my sister and i always liked going into Accie. i remember trickets ice cream a unique taste and those lovely crimson/navy blue buses that i found out were a tribute in the colours of 'The Accrington Pals' who were decimated on the Somme 1916. i live in Liverpool now but always look out for Accrington Stanley's footie results. you can take the lad out of Accrington..but you can't take Accrington out of the Lad!
