Would this book cover Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mum) and hubby George's visit to Accrington?
It would have been at the time when Sir William Wiggins Cocker was mayor.
The reason I ask is the Sir William lived at Glen Wold on Queens Road at the time and the royal party dropped in for a cuppa. Apparently Manchester Corporation installed a posh bathroom especially for the visit!
