Hi
I don't know Accrington, but I did go there when I was a child.It was near a railway arch (like Corrie). James Barlow the 2nd Mayor was my GGG uncle. I think he part owned the Nori Brickworks and Moorfield pit. He was the son in law of Sir George McAlpine.
I suspect the Briggs link perhaps goes further back.
