Re: The Lady with no hands

Susan, My nana was brought up in Victoria St and said she used to walk to school with Agnes, she was older about 12 years old when it happened and she told me the story much later about what happened, She said she and Agnes wrote a xmas card to each other every year until her death. My nanas maiden name was Jenny Haworth and i think she said she lived at 5 Victoria St. I later after her death at 97yrs (my nana) researched and got copy of Accrington local paper of the year it occured to see how much of Nans memory was true and found out it was the truth. It had huge impact on nan as her mum died a few weeks after this happened as well.
