The Creation - Can I Join Your Band?

The Who - Out In The Street

I remember my dad telling us that our family home in Brighton Terrace, Darwen, had been built on the site of Barley Bank, which was Darwen's cricket and football ground in the 1880s. He reckoned that Darwen had once played Rovers in front of about 15000 people and that one of the goals would have been just about where our house stood (gable end of Brighton Terrace and Durham Road). I have no idea how accurate the exact location of our house in relation to the goalposts is, but a quick wiki search confirms the first part of his story.

Ah, no its a relatively new place - about 15 years old I think. I can well imagine Jack proudly showing David Murray around Brockhall.

Yeah, previously called Murray Park. I live quite close to it.

Rangers' training ground at Milngavie was modelled on Brockhall.
