The presence of the paperbag manufacturers interests me. A visitor to Accrington in the 1870s(?) wrote of such a manufacturer and inferred that he, the manufacturer, was the inventor of them.I seem to recall that the factory was on Dale St. I have not been able to find more about it. Perhaps an Accrington man had applied for a patent. How long had Hyde's been going? In 1951 the owner, Ernest Hyde, lived 147 Willows Lane.
