In a very old Observer, I read a letter from someone who had emigrated to New England. It told of a recent gathering of over 400 Lancashire folk, many from Acc. Many of the mills are still standing, made into 'condominiums' - flats. I visited some of my relations for the first time in 1978. They had placed a Nori on the table to make me feel welcome. They had taken it home on a recent visit to see where their dad grew up.
