'Memories of Accrington' is a collection of photographs from a time not-so-long-ago. It is not a history book, rather a 'nostalgic' look at life concentrating on that most eventful period in its recent past centred around the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.
Each picture is brought to life with generous, well researched captions that will rekindle thoughts of how things were in the Accrington of the past, the Accrington of our parents, and perhaps even our grandparents.
Inside this book you will find images of everyday life, including people at work, at play, on the move, and in the town centre. Every facet of Accrington nostalgia finds a place.
Above all these images are intended to bring back memories, or if you're not familiar with the area - to show it as your ancestors may have seen it in their time. A great guide for all with connections to Accrington.
