Hello everyone,

My name is Mike, I was born in Rawtenstall and lived in Woodside Road, Accrington during my childhood. I have a query about where my late mother worked during the war.
My mother would often tell me about working at a factory that made Wellington Bombers at a local factory that was converted for the work. She told me that the factory was called Howard & Butlers but I cannot find any information on either that factory or Wellington Bomber production in Accrington. Can anyone please help me to progress this query?

Best Wishes

Mike
