Nolans stall in Accrington Market Hall
 

I am doing research on a Mr Nolan (d. 1973) who ran a stall in Accrington Market.  He was a very gifted man, good at sculptures.  Anyone know anything about him or where any of his work can be seen?

Thank you so much for replying.  I have been interested in the work of Mr Nolan for quite some time now, but been unable to locate any of it, other than the bust of Winston Churchill which is now in Bash Con.
I am about to put a small article on him on my web site but would love to be able to add more information and pictures of his work.  I am aware that Jack Lomax in Accrington Market Hall does have the self portrait that your g'grandfather did.

Ive got some pics of his work which I'll send to Em theres quite a bit of his work in our family, so it may take some time. Have lots of info about him and his life and will share anything you need to know. Did you know that he actually built an airplane and flew it off the top of the coppice?? Brave man eh??
