The Absent Voters list wasn't after WW1. After WW1 they wouldn't be absent, that list was created in 1918 whilst the war was on. It was supposed to have been created by the soldiers filling in forms, but thats bull shine. There are three men in the Accrington list, who were killed in action 2 years earlier, who filled in those forms, who filled in the forms of men missing in action, later to be found as prisoners of war.

Biscuits.......if you wanted a pound of mixed biscuits you chose the ones you liked from the glass lidded tins....the grocery assistant would pick them out and put them in a paper bag. The name Huntley and Palmers springs to mind. My dad was an apprentice grocer (his words) at Redmans in Accrington,he then moved to Duckworth`s,got married,bought a house up Dowry St.Not long after,dad bought a shop in Haslingden.I was born above the shop(1952),the biscuit comment Margaret, was so true,those glass lidded tins were a feature in dads shop, I will never forget that.What I also remember strongly was dad buying a freezer,it was very much the new thing to sell frozen food,tv dinners and frozen peas! |
