Re: Phillip Pratt, Optician

There was a death recorded in Lancashire in 1991.
May be a good place to start?

Is the shop closed down now? I have been past a few times and never seen it without the shutters.

I take it that means it is still open Bob.

I called at the chippy near by last week and it was closed and likewise a few weeks ago.
I must be there on the wrong days.

We used to get our specs there but for the last few years we have not had the usual reminders.

The Opticians (Pratts) in Accrington is still open, and the name has not been changed, they have a maintenance contract with us for their boiler, the annual boiler service was carried out not long ago, it did change hands 7 years ago and the new owners continued the contract.

Ya he was quite well know for being rather hard on crims advising the Magistrates in using the full extent of the law;)
