Re: Oswaldtwistle String Band...

There were several bands in the area at that time. I haven't heard of the Ossie one. Accrington library have some photos of, amongst others, the Robert Cunliffe Orchestra so it may be worth looking at them to spot people whose names may be known. Similarly, Blackburn Library may have pics too, as an Ossie band may well have its photo in the Blackburn papers. Their name may come up in the '19th century Newspapers' facility on the County Library's website. I fancy the larger group pic may have been taken in Rhyddings Park , if it was open at that time.

Susie. If you will send me the pic, I will forward it to John Goddard, Huncoat historian.
