As did some of George's Granchildren in the 1920's i believe.

Last one is to the side elevation so you can see how big these terrace were. Note that it was 82 and 84 which had bay windows, the rest of the terrace had flat windows.

Wow Sarah
I am overwhelmed thank you,what lovely photo's, I have taken lot's of photo's of houses. Where somebodies Granny was born,but this is a first for me. It's wonderfull to see these houses are still standing and have been looked after so well. I have a photo of my Great Grandparents George J. Baron and Ann taken in a garden. So it's possible it was the garden of this house. Accrington looks like a beautiful place,i am so chuffed Many thanks.
