Bob dobson
Yes, our very own "still alive" Accyweb Mr Bob Dobson! Its YOU I am talking about here.
Lancashire magazine - February 2010 issue. You kept this one very quiet! Have been in the library this morning and there I found an article about YOU and your love of Accrington in the Feb issue of Lancashire Magazine. Nice article about your good start in life at the Accrington Grammar School, then a manager's clerk in a colliery, then a policeman, then you became a second hand book dealer, specialising in work about Lancashire, you have written several books, the list goes on and on. Good article, nice to see you give the Peel Park hotel a mention. Nice magazine, may even pick one up next month! Atarah |

Re: Bob dobson
Good call Atarah.
Someone who'll go down in history, for recording our history. Without people like him, future generations would have a poorer knowledge, of this area, and it's people.
