You haven't just made Bob Dobsons day, you've made his year!
It was a good school.

Re: Noted living Accringtonians.

Indeed I am excited about Albert Hunt, though I cannot find a direct contact address for him on Google. I am pursuing him through a third party (Bradford) If I find him, I shall tactfully not tell him that he has confused 'complementary' with 'complimentary' in what he has written about his work in Bradford.

While I was looking at this man's website after having seen some of his fantastic pictures, found in his Bio that he was born in Accrington. A fantastic artist whose paintings are like photos.
