Hello from East Lancashire

[Ryewolf]

Just thought I'd day hello from East Lancs, always had an interest in photography (have a Canon film camera, but hardly used it - price of film/dev and all) only recently get a DSLR in July last year - Canon EOS100D, EF24-105mm f4 L IS USM, EF100mm f2.8 USM Macro and a 75-300mm kit lens that came with the camera.

 

Not got any specfic area of intrest, just like to photograph anything that catches my interest..

 

Look forward to seeing you around the forums. Cheers Geoff

Welcome to the forums Geoff  

 

I remember the East Lancs Road well from childhood, when my dad used to ferry us from the edges of Liverpool to the "other place" where family friends lived. Mind you, in your case you're probably talking about somewhere like Clitheroe? 

 

Look forward to seeing your pictures.

Thanks for the welcome Chris, I'm in Accrington to be exact.

Hello Geoff - welcome to TIPF.

 

I know Accrington a little bit - it's the home of the Pals Regiment and the Stanley and (the not so well known) Les Bond who writes some very funny monologues.

"Accrington Stanley, who are they?"

"Exactly!"

Hi Geoff ... they are as mad as a cart load of monkeys on here ....well some are .! Welcome to the forum ... I'm still finding my way around and still reading all the posts from years back ... once I start .... time just vanishes !

 

 Accrington Stanley....Who are they?    Thanks for  illuminating where that came from Chris ... They always say that on Soccer a.m. programme whenever they mention the football team ... and I hadn't realised where it had originated from ...

 

Accrington  was   one of the original 12 teams that formed the Football  league though ... was that before Accrington Stanley was formed....?  Anyway ... Welcome aboard  Geoff 

[Ryewolf]

Alas, Accrington can't seem to shake that milk advert, made in 1989 - it wasn't Accrington Stanley (1891) that was a founder member but a forerunner (I was pointed out when I got it wrong) called Accrington Football Club (The Owd Reds). To make things confusing there's an Accrington Stanley that was formed in 1968. But as I hate sport I know nothing.

 

Anway apart from the football, we;ve also got the biggest collection of Tiffany glass in Europe, plus bricks made here where used as the foundations of Blackpool Tower and the Empire State building, not forgetting the spinning jenny

 

Many thanks for the wlecomes, Jon, PaulT, Martyn, Chris, Clicker

Not so sure on my sports, but pretty sure one of the band members from Yes was born here... And it's not even my home town, I was born in Southport - and most of my family (on my fathers side) all the way back to 1570's came from and lived in that area working on various farms. Wasn't until the 1900's that they moved into the town and became domestic servantes. Mind you at the time Napoleon III lived there - I often wonder if my ancestors ever met him...

 

Gosh revealed quite a bit there........

Is it my imagination  or does Lancashire seem to be rather  well represented on this Forum?

[Ryewolf]

I've was just thinking that myself, technically I'm from southport - whose boundaries moved about (was in Lancashire,then in Merseyside, I think now back in Lancashire)... Lots of inventors, creative people and great landscapes. Maybe birds of a feather flock together...and all the Lancs toggers have ened up on 1 forum?
