Obituaries of noted Accringtonians.
Still searching for local artistic connections, I'm coming across other locally born people who've made their mark on the world.
I thought it would be wiser to keep them in a separate thread. Please feel free to add any others you might come across. Professor Leslie Howarth, mathematician (1911- 2001) Professor Leslie Howarth - Obituaries, News - The Independent

Re: Obituaries of noted Accringtonians.
Prescott, James Arthur (1890 - 1987)
Born Bolton, but educated in Accrington, when the family returned to England from France. Following the return to England, and after a year at Spring Hill Elementary School devoted to reestablishing his command of English and gaining familiarity with the Imperial system of weights and measures, he spent the period 1903 to 1908 in secondary education at the Accrington Municipal Secondary School, later to be the Grammar School. Here he was awarded scholarships by the Accrington Co-operative Society and by Bridge Mechanical. His Leaving Scholarship to the University, awarded by the Lancashire County Council, was based on his results at the Higher Alternative Matriculation Examination.

 As was the case with cricketer Reginald Hargreaves (1852 - 1926), born at Oakhill Park. You corrected the statement that he didn't live there with his wife Alice Liddell, inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, in this thread. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...fame-2164.html Reginald Hargreaves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reginald Hargreaves | England Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com Alice Liddell was Alice in Wonderland Incidentally I worked in the costume department on the 1985 film Dreamchild, written by Dennis Potter, and starring Coral Browne, which was based on Alice Liddell's life.

Re: Obituaries of noted Accringtonians.
Am reading this with great interest, as the majority of them are new to me. Some of them were Accrington Grammar school boys. At some time I would like to record these in a single file in the library. Am short of time. Garinda - have a looksee at Mr Bulleid, railway engineer, an AGSOB.
