Me thinks its time to start a thread going on this subject.

More and more folk are now being asked if they feel we should have a museum in Accrington. OF COURSE WE SHOULD, we have to show our kids how this town came about! We need somewhere to record about our Accrington Pals, our famous football team, our industries that produced goods which went world wide i.e. NORI bricks, Ewbank sweepers, E.J.Riley snooker tables etc. We should have photos showing the men who left their mark in this town! The more folk talk about it, the more chance we may have.

An article has been printed in the new free magazine, "ACORN COMMUNITY NEWS", the 2nd edition of which should be popping through doors now in the Hyndburn area. Please take a moment to read it.
