Re: Paradise Works
When Lang Bridge moved from Paradise Works (Church St.) to their new premises in Exchange St., the exact date I do'nt know, probably between 1902-05.They called the new works Paradise Works because they were known worldwide as Lang Bridge, Paradise Works, Accrington and wanted to continue being known as that. That left the old Church St. works with no name, so they called it the Sewing Machine Works. Why?? Was it because the last machines to be produced there were sewing machines? That's what I think.
