In 1978 I visited Lowell, near to Fall River and went to a former cotton weaving shed now a museum. It was fitted with what I knew were Lancashire looms, on the end of which was cast iron plates bearing the maker's name, which I think was Entwistle of Mass. I feel sure they would be made by Bullough's and cast with his name put on.
Many years ago, I came across a cutting from the Observer - it was a letter dated late 1800s written by an Accringtonian who had emigrated out to Mass and told of a gathering of Accy folk in New England - about 400 of them. Atarah Hindle may know where this cutting can be found - if not, then try John Simpson in the library - [email protected]
