Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

I know, but is more to do with the lecturer who comes from Bolton and he is very elderly. It will be re-scheduled.

Will miss the mince tart and glass of wine (or orange juice for you) too... :(

Oh my gosh you are an absoulte star this is perfect!! Iv just seen it on the thread you posted on thanks so so much for this. This website is amazing. I went to the library and found the 1871 and 1881 census which was interesting as it looks like the daughter of the innkeeper, Elizabeth Grimshaw took over the pub!

I hope there will be no bad language in this lecture.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Sir, this is a respectable society ... not the back room of your local pub.. :p

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

The attached Carte de Visite is labelled John Bullough. Anyone know if this is the John Bullough. The photograper, Elliott & Fry, was at 7 Gloucester Terrace between 1886 and 1892 so dates fit.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

I, myself, have not got a clue. Will try and print it out and ask the speaker on Thursday.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Hi Medusa.
I've already contacted the speaker, and she confirms it is the John Bullough, although its in a format she has never seen before.
Would SPW be prepared to donate it to the Library Collection.

Retlaw.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Yes (but can I be sure that the County Council will never sell it). Attached are another couple of CDVs of Accrington worthies which I also have which could go along with it. Riley Ormerod and Robert Hermon-Hodge, 1st Baron Wyfold of Accrington.
