Somebody ught to look at paper bag making in Accrington. An early (1870s?) visitor wrote sosmething which led the reader top think that the paper bag was invented here.May be it was a mchine for making them that was invented/patented here. I don't think that is the case, but it is summat worth enquiring into. From memory, this inventor lived/worked on Dale St.

Atarah's list reinforces the fact that Warner Street was an important commercial centre.
