I quote from a Ewbank publicity leaflet published c 1890......"Although Accrington may not be the actual birthplace of mangles".....It then goes on to say they have an example ( photo with it) of a mangle made by Tasker c1850. It appears to be the one now in the Towneley Hall Museum and it was formerly in the small museum at the Ewbank works.
