The propellor may not have been made locally.

Someone discussing the same photograph on another forum...
Gilbraith Haulage of Accrington bought out a company called Garston (either Haulage or Wharfage) in the 60's and they used to transport props. I remember seeing one in the yard at Accrington when the driver had come in for a service and the prop which looked about the size of the one in you pic was still on the trailer.. The unit was a red Leyland with the LAD cab with the deep doors. The trailer had a frame on so the prop could be tilted somehow. I wonder if it springs to your mind,, The driver looked a bit like Mick McMannus the old wrestler off TV.
