This is Hacking Street in Nelson, Lancashire. Nelson is a smallish former cotton town in the North West of England.
It has a Hacking Street which is of interest, but it's claim to fame with regard to me in any case is its my birthplace. Not Hacking Street exactly but a couple of miles away in Fernlea Nursing Home in April 1960.
I don't think they named the street after me.
Hope not anyway as its very ordinary.
No houses on it, only about 50 yards long and containing a couple of factory type units and some fencing.
As we start on the journey to find streets, roads, avenues, and the like, with Hacking in the name I thought it best to start in my home town.
Things can only get better!!
