Yes I saw that but never heard of any sewing machines made in Acc, on the corner where the entrance to the Ritz used to be, there was a stone just above pavement level which had Accrington Higher Bridge cut into it, it vanished when Barnes's took over, behind that and under Barnes's frontage was a little known street, Water St, that was before the present Water St, and in that area was another known as Butchers Alley.
