I published 'Oswaldtwistle Observed' in 2003. On page 13 there are two photos of the fire brigade. The top one was taken outside the town hall where the steam-powered engine was kept ( the horses were kept across the road.) The lower photo was taken outside the 'new' (1899) fire station. No names I'm afraid. Both photos were 'thanks to Lancashire Library' I cannot put them on here as I am a dummy at anything technical. Only the top photo shows firemen - 12 of them plus a horse and engine
