[Margaret Pilkington]

I have been asked to pass on :-
Without access to station log books it is something that cannot be answered accurately.
That Broughtons was NOT on paradise St....it's address was Church St.
That Broughtons were not there for 50 years, they were on Hyndburn Rd near the corn mill.
The person I am in contact with tells me that Broughtons were not in that building when it went up in flames.

I can only tell you what is relayed to me.
That you are feeling some sort of presence may have nothing at all to do with this incident.
The presence may pre-date this fire.
I am sure that buildings have been on this site for many many years....and that means that people would have occupied them.
