Accrington Jubilee Souvenir 1878 to 1928, page 89 says that the town possessed a Subscription Library "afterwards transferred to Mr Holt's, Abbey Street". On his removal it was located above his shop at 31 Blackburn Road. This was later handed over as a gift to what eventually became the Accrington Mechanics' Institution. Does this mean that Mr Holt handed it over or someone else? Marie Ball
