My Grandad was born in Barns Street and was part of the Accrington pals army thank goodness he was one of the survivors, I’ve had many happy hour in Accrington as a youngster when I came to see my grandparents , they used to live in Mill street which is no longer there I do believe it’s a carpark now.
Just a quick addition for anyone who didn’t know, Accrington is also home of the world’s oldest civilian pipe band. Formed in 1885 in ex serviceman’s club based on Abby st on the town.
Its good to hear and see the positive side of the Accrington. It helps to build up the town again and to make it more interesting. Over the years the town has gone down hill lime all places have. We positive videos being shared like.this will hopefully build the town up again. ❤😊
I lived at 106, which was in the first of the semidetached red brick houses, a little further up from the post office which was on the end of a terrace. A good business in its time, I should think, though the owners didn't have a great sense of humour.😊
Grew up in Accy. It was dump long before the current problems. Building the arndale on top of what was a beautiful Italian sunken garden was the start of its problems. There's little good work. It's too easy to go past. Back in the 90s Broadway was a shopping street of charity shops. I don't like to dis any town, I grew up there and was schooled there. Parents still live there. But I never go back. Live in Bury now and there's no reason to go.
Yo robbo why you have photos of disfigured hollocaust victims with no weapons? THEY ARE NOT THE ACCY PALS, PAL. YOU NEED THE CORRECT PHOTOGRAPH!! The Accy Pals photo they all have guns and look a lot more dashing.
I didn’t want to make a video about Accrington without mentioning the 11th battalion East Lancashire regiment. I don’t own the copyright to any original photos, so used AI pictures to enable me to make the video.
@@Robbo8ball omg sir, I am an Accrington lad myself and much like the rest of the male population in The Great home of the Holden's, over a thousand years ago in when surnames where given describing where they live and hol means hollow and den is for deep describing the topography of Accrington's deep hollow.

Learned about Accrington from Bumble. He used to make plenty of comments about Accrington FC during cricket commentary.
Cool, he was one of my favourite cricket commentators along with Johnathan Agnew and Henry Blofeld.

Wow nice memories and you must be very proud of your Grandad. I worked in Accrington for a few years and have happy memories also.
Just a quick addition for anyone who didn’t know, Accrington is also home of the world’s oldest civilian pipe band. Formed in 1885 in ex serviceman’s club based on Abby st on the town.
Wow I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing😊

Thank you 😊 yes the town has home interesting history and some lovely old buildings. I hope it can see some regeneration.
thanks for sharing your opinion
@@rdkia2302 Your welcome. Accrington will always be home for me
@@Robbo8ball That's true there is a lot of history to the place. People are nice too
Accrington have seen some tough times, but it raised some brave and strong people.
Yes it struggles like many northern towns but there’s a lot of good people here ☺️
Thank you for this video. I grew up in Dill Hall Lane, Church. I have very fond memories although i havent lived there for over fifty years.
Thanks for your comment, I have driven up and down there many times and walked it a few when I was younger.
Where my granny lived, bless her heart ❤
My dad used to live on Dill Hall Lane in the 1950s.
Cool 😎 I lived in Clayton-le-moors in the 80s/90s Dill Hall lane was just up the road for me been up and down it hundreds of times!
Thanks for this, I live in padiham and trying to teach kids about local history.
That’s great, thank you for your comment ☺️I have videos about Burnley and Blackburn’s history as well if you like local history.
@@Robbo8ball we love local history, going to binge watch it all. Thanks for taking the time to make these

I like Accrington.I go there every week to do my shop. Have you done a video on Rawtenstall?😮
Hi, not yet but I’m planning to do some more of the local towns over the next few weeks 🤗
NICE LITTLE VIDEO THAT 📹 😊
☺️ thank you!
i have Beautiful memories of Accrington i Married a Lass from Accrington
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Im from Accrington. He's right, the poor and homeless people need help first, and investment in industries.
Hi thanks for the comment, yeah some industry investment would really benefit the town.
Grew up in Accy. It was dump long before the current problems.

There's little good work. It's too easy to go past.
Back in the 90s Broadway was a shopping street of charity shops.

Accrington has been hit really hard by 14 years of a Conservative Government. Why on earth would people for Hyndburn vote Tory? It's stupid as hell.
Yo robbo why you have photos of disfigured hollocaust victims with no weapons? THEY ARE NOT THE ACCY PALS, PAL.
YOU NEED THE CORRECT PHOTOGRAPH!!
The Accy Pals photo they all have guns and look a lot more dashing.

The death of Chimney was probably a merciful release from a miserable life of captivity.
What, no mention of Accrington Stanley and milk?
