Sorry.

That link was just an add on, not really to do with who printed the textile.

The Lewis Textile Museum in Blackburn used to have some printed textiles, with printing on the selve edge which said Accrington Printworks, along with registration marks, which they attributed to Broad Oak.

They also had some printed handkerchiefs by Steiners, but they just had 'F. Steiner & Co.' printed on the edge.
