I also remember Frank organising the sales of newspapers during the Accrington holiday shutdown. I had a great pitch on the wall of the house* on Manchester Road across Christ Church St from the Park Inn.
He used to rock up in his Hillman Minx and supply us with the days newsprint and collect the returns and takings later.
Nice little earner during the holidays.
* Was a toffee shop then, Atarah or Retlaw will probably know more.

Yep that shop on the corner with Christ Church St (with the post box in the wall) had long been a shop, sold ice cream to the walkers up to Oak Hill Park, think the last person to operate it as a shop was Alex Thompson.
