Re: Music shop
Hi, will be in touch tomorrow. I think you may find Union Street, should read Union Road in Oswaldtwistle. I am led to believe the business was started in a small shop at the corner of Union Road and Chapel Street, Oswaldtwistle, near to Mount Pleasant Chapel, Osw. From there, Mr Haworth moved to premises at the corner of Abbey Street and Stanley Street, Accrington. Later the business was transferred to Piccadilly, Blackburn Road, Accrington (across from Town hall) - where Mr Haworth remained for 23 years until 1926, when the property was pulled down by the Corporation, for the purpose of carrying out road widening in front of the Town Hall.
