Had a quick look at the book last night.
It's called "The development of Technical Education in Accrington written by a Mr A Hand.

It charts the growth of the schools etc from the middle of the 1800's up to about 1950. It does mention the school of art etc on Blackburn Road and the Technical School but don't know what information you are after so it may not be of use to you.

I think the best thing for me to do is to donate this book to Accrington Library (Don't know if there are more copies out there) and then people can go along and view it there.

Will take it down on Monday and have a word with them to see if they want it.
