This should be required reading for every Accringtonian. The book is availabe in the library. I was at school with his son, who died three years ago. His daughter is still alive. They lived on Blackburn Rd near Sacred Heart Church. His book is described on the site as a minor classic. Nonsense - it is major. This man was a giant.
