I know you've found the right Mayor now, so this is just incidental, but this is the second source that quotes T.E. Higham as being the Mayor in 1908.
'Accrington library was opened by the Mayor of Accrington, Alderman T E Higham, on 18th Jan 1908.'
lcl - - history of the library
So either L.C.C. is wrong, or your anonymous source is.
Incidentally T.E. Higham Esq. was also conducting the Accrington Choral Society in the 1890's.
On the 24th November, 1890 he conducted Madame Fanny Moody in the Town Hall..
I wonder if the show ended when Madame Fanny sang?
