Re: accrington town
There isn't a Haworth St in Accy. There is a Haworth Ave, which is named after the Haworth family who lived nearby in what is now the Art Gallery. Your John Haworth gave his name to Haworth terrace, which is a block of houses ( 87 to 119) on Plantation Street . One thing that someone on here might be able to find for you is a 78rpm record cover bearing Haworth's name - there will still be some around . In a book I published, there was a photo of a Haworth's van in a carnival day procession. The library will have a copy of the photo. I haven't....There was a Haworth family prominent in Oswaldtwistsle. Haworth is a very common name in these parts....An Edward Haworth of Union St was a chapel keeper and Sunday School teacher ( possibly Union St Methodist) He died 292.9.1878 aged 61. In the 1950s I attended Union St chapel and SS. One of the teachers was Theresa Haworth, a very good singer. I would not have thought that any of the properties on Union St had a name- mostly it was terraced housing. Someone will check the census
