Received his book last Friday .. thank you Duport.

The book is illustrated by black and white (charcoal ?) sketches from Leslie Duxbury himself and have a style of their own, as per the pictures Garinda has put up. Very talented man.

As for the reading ... definitely very enjoyable.

Seems to be a mixture of fact and fiction ... not always truistic to Accrington (streets, etc), but don't think it is meant to be.

A childhood view of all the wonderful characters in the 1920/30's with wonderful desciptions of their appearance. Would put a little up for you but not sure of the copyright, etc.

Well worth anyone from Lancashire having this on their book shelf.
