My ancestors were "calico block printers" all living in Baxenden during those years and I am just trying to put a bit of "flesh on the bones"!

There was a Calico on the Broadoak site, where Caligen foam is now, back of Accy college. Caligen got it`s name from two works that use to be there the first from Calico but can`t remember the second. And the site leads up to Baxenden.
