Re: ACCY Holidays
Our family bakers in Ossy still keeps to the Accy Wakes weeks holidays, as do a few small shops, were it isn't practical to have staggered holidays.
I think originally it was introduced by the mill owners, so cotton production wasn't too affected, when the unions won paid holidays for their workers. Burnley was always first, then Accrington, then I think Preston and Bolton had their holidays.
