Can I just say I found this comment rather interesting. The Grimshaw mentioned used to live in Owl Hall! This architects was originally on Willow Street, almost facing the steps of the Mechanics Institute, now the Registrars.
(and ... not too sure on this, but will check, think the Townsend was connected to Joan Pompret, the poet who lived at the house known as Stoops, near Harwood Bar in Great Harwood). The Townsend certainly wrote books on FISHING, cos I have a copy of one, thanks to Bob Dobson).
