It was my posting which referred to paper bags. A mid-19th century visitor had inferred that an accrington chap had invented them, or perhaps the making of them by machine. he did not say who it was, and to my knowledge this has not been established. It would be uintersting to look at the patents concerning paper bag making which have been applied for. I repeat - nothing has been proved about this.
