I believe Mr Haworth's two sons, Frederick (your granddad) and Roland A, became involved with the business, which had "grown to great magnitude, embracing practically every branch of the musical instrument industry". After having to leave Piccadilly area of town, (for which they were most probably compensated) - they had built the "handsome building" on Whalley Road, known as Steinway House. Until he came ill in August 1934, Mr Haworth Snr., continued to take a very active part in the business, which since the development of wireless, had added this service to its activities. and was carried on by his sons. Mr Haworth had been associated with the Accrington & District Institution for the Blind ever since its formation (and its still going strong to this day!) - for many years he had been one of its directors. Along with Mr Richard Bond and Mr James Townson, he helped to found the organisation. More to follow
