Re: Noted living Accringtonians.
Garth Dawson, studio/press photographer. Born 1924.
Attended Paddock House Grammar school until the age of Eight, then to St Pauls School. Oswaldtwistle until my father thought that the Accrington Grammar school would give me a good education... Left the Grammar With only a pass in Art and geography and obtained a job Working for the London Midland & Scottish Railway as a Telegraph linesman (Telephones and electric signalling Equipment) which was just at that time was being introduced. In 1942 volunteered for RAF aircrew until 1946 as(Wireless/Operator) Air gunner, ended the war in Coastal Command flying in Vickers Wellington's based at Barrow in Furness. After the war I returned to the railway but I was not very happy, so in 1948 I resigned and commenced work with my father who had a Shoe Retail and Repair business in Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, just below The Palladium cinema. My father was also interested in photography and encouraged me to pursue it as a hobby ...Eventually I took it from being just a hobby and opened a photographic studio in Union Road, Oswaldtwistle on the same row as St Pauls school in 1949. Accrington photographs Garth Dawson Studio (Strangely my mother was telling me only the other day, about his first studio being in Oswaldtwistle, and how she remembered going there to have photographs taken as a small child.)

Re: Noted living Accringtonians.
Prof. Bill Clegg, born 1949 Great Harwood.
Professor William Clegg, born 8 March 1949, Great Harwood, Lancashire, UK. One of the most prolific of authors with more than 600 academic papers in the area of crystallography under his belt, before the age of 50. Interested in many aspects of crystallography and structural chemistry, including the development of X-ray data collection methods, use of synchrotron radiation, applications in supramolecular chemistry as well as wide ranges of organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry. What was your chemistry teacher at school like? A large, rather overweight Welshman (no national prejudice intended!) with a pronounced facial tic, which led to his nickname of Winky Barrel.

Re: Noted living Accringtonians.
Jonathan Slinger - Actor.
Born Accrington 1972. Jonathan Slinger The RSC should celebrate its new star When an actor explodes into stardom the way Jonathan Slinger has, it seems churlish not to allow his audience to thank him properly. The RSC should celebrate its new star | Stage | guardian.co.uk http://www.qegs.blackburn.sch.uk/for...tem.php?id=291 Jonathan Slinger, one of the new stars of the RSC, has just added Richard II to his acclaimed performance as Richard III. Terry Grimley went to meet him. Probably still best known to the outside world as the only town with a football club named Stanley, Accrington now has another claim to distinction. It's the birthplace of Jonathan Slinger, a rising star in the Royal Shakespeare Company who is proving a key performer in Michael Boyd's epic staging of the complete history plays. After giving us a mesmerising Richard III earlier this year he has gone back four reigns (but forward in the chronology of Shakespeare's plays) to play his very different namesake, Richard II. http://www.birminghampost.net/life-l...name_page.html
