I am preparing a list of my collection of local-interst books with a viw to selling them. One item is along essay printed on A4 and bound in a plstic spiral spine by late Bob Rush, who worked as a pharmacist for Mr Brownbill in Avenue parade and wrote on Accrington public transport and on steam railways. I published a book Bob wrote on our trams and buses and was very fond of him. It may be that a member of his family would like this book, compiled in 1943-46 and put into book faorma in 2004. I would not like to sell it and then learn tat a family member hasn't got a copy I know that Bob had a daughter but I don't know her name. and would like to be put in touch with her. I remember that she lived not far from Hodder Street.
