Perhaps Retlaw can tell us?
Brings back memories(not of the first tram!). Thanks, Garinda.

That ships propellor was never cast in Accrington, only two foundries big enough to cast something so big were Bulloughs & Lang Bridges, neither of them did bronze castings, unusual pitch & number of blades.
Pic 24 is the Ambulance Drill Hall on Bull Bridge.
Pic 37 is the Wesleyan Chapel from Nuttall St.
Pic 65 is the Acc Pals led by Lt/Co Rickman, taking the salute from the mayor of Acc 2 -8-1915.
A lot of those pictures have nowt to do with Accrington.
