Would SPW be prepared to donate it to the Library Collection.

Yer a good 'un, Lurch. Have your uses after all...

Did try to google an image of John Bullough, nothing comes up.
What I found ironic though, was that they blamed the smog in London to his early demise (53) ... not the smoke he possibly escaped from, due to pollution of the factory chimneys in Accrington.

He lived on Bullough Row up Bash so he would escape a lot of the polution he created in Acc, till he moved to his castle

Thought smoke travelled upwards...

That castle is amazing. The money they had !!!
Maybe if they had ploughed a bit more back into the factory might have been still around today.

Ged away wi thi, John Bullough had been long dead before Bulloughs went under, the demise was their own fault, they had exported machinery and set up factories all over the world, the end result being cotton was cheaper to produce abroad, also once those machines were there, they bought very few spares, they craftily copied and produced their own. Things were looking bleak in the early 1950's, and by the late 1950's they were laying people off.

You're welcome.

The least I can do, after being such a tit.

Here, have a flower too.



I bought it for you.

I didn't pick it, from a red, white, and blue flower tower.

Doesn't make them any less beautiful.

Most lads today, that drool over Jordan, or any page three stunner, probably ain't gonna meet her.

So they'd have the same chance with a dead un.

The thought is the thing, Garinda. Mind you, pleased not a dandelion ... you know the myth behind them ... and finding a loo open in our Borough may prove difficult ...
