I Dreamed a Dream By The Old Canal

Seldon Scott

I don't know if there's a more 'Lancashire' sight than an Accrington Brick built mill reflected in the dirty waters of a disused canal.

The title is a line fron Ewan MacColl's 'Dirty Old Town'. A lot of people think it's an Irish song after being covered by The Dubliners and The Pogues. In fact MacColl wrote it in homage to his home town, Salford.
