About 1890 there was a series of books pubklished by the Historical Publishing Co. They featured businesses, large & small, in Lancashire towns. Accrington was covered in a book which also included Burnley, but not Blackburn so far as I recall, because I published a reprint of the Blackburn & Darwen sections.
I write about Whittaker's in the book I edited & published. 'An Accrington Mixture' There's a copy in the library. They made 'New Era' brickmaking machinery.
