Union Street, Accrington

A) A few of my ancestors lived in Union Street, so I do not know if anyone can help me out with the buildings marked 1,2 and 3 on the 1848 map of Accrington.

B) Does anyone know who owned the Iron Foundry ?
C) Does anyone know who owned Spring Mill Cotton ?
D) Was Pleck House the building south west of the well ?
E) Which is the Union Buildings mill on the map ?


I believe the following information also be relevant.

Kelly's 1895 Trade directory
============================
Under 'Manufacturers of Cotton Goods' for Accrington :-
Cunliffe Henry and Sons (252 looms), Union Buildings mill, Union Street


1881 Census for Henry Cunliffe
==============================
65 Avenue Parade, Accrington (RG11 4140/31 6)
Henry G Cunliffe/Head/M/Male/39/Accrington/Manager of Cotton Mill
Alice A Cunliffe/Wife/M/Female/32/Accrington

11 Avenue Parade, Accrington (RG11 4140/31 6)
Henry Cunliffe/Head/M/Male/71/Accrington/Cotton Spinner and Manufacturer 300 work people
Mary A Cunliffe/Wife/M/Female/67/Ireland
Alice Cunliffe/Dau/U/Female/36/Accrington
John Wilson Cunliffe/Son/U/Male/34/Accrington/Cotton Manufacturer
Lucy Reynold/Serv/U/Female/21/Kempton, Shropshire/Domestic Servant

(The remaining Henry Cunliffe's on the 1881 do not show a job title equivalent to mill manager)

Accrington Fire Station
=======================
Grade II Listed building the Fire Station on Manchester Road, built approx. 1936 by H Cunliffe & Sons
