Bert Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 In BJ's photo of the horse drawn trams the traffic is not keeping to the left. This rule came in here in 1835 although Pope Boneface told pilgrims to keep to the left in 1300. Not a lot of people know that but a few more do now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRANK Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I remember David (bumble) Lloyd commentating on the cricket with Shane Warne. He told Shane - ''I'm going to LA tomorrow morning, but I'll be back later on''. Shane was surprised and said '' What? to LA and back in a day?''. Bumble then replied, '' yep, lower Accrington. I'm going to USA the day after''. Shane '' What? the States?''. Bumble '' No, uther side of Accrington''. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyll Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thanks BJL, Great Photos, especially The Prov as I trained there to be a Nurse till just before it closed, then I moved on to work in Billinge Maternity Hospital. Re the 2nd Photo, I'm guessing that is Lowe House in the background, but I can't figure out where it was taken from. Any ideas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
