Re: Accrington born artists.
Ben was called Ben Yates. His daughters were Sheila and Christine. Sheila went to school with me at Hippings Methodist and Accrington High School. When we started at Hippings the Yateses lived in one of the cottages adjoining the "Stop & Rest", where the pub car park is now. Then they moved to Union Road. Mr. & Mrs. Yates lived in a flat at Mallard Place in later life. I still see Sheila at my High School reunions. She lives in Penrith now.
