Re: Noted living Accringtonians.
I bring to notice Gordon Birtwistle, MP for Burnley (LibDem) who attended Hyndburn Park School 1954-58. Before becoming MP he was a recent Mayor of Burnley.

Re: Noted living Accringtonians.
Freda Lightfoot -romantic novelist, has written over 30 best-sellers. I believe she was originally from Oswaldtwistle -she certainly lived there in her youth as my mother used to go to Sunday School with her.
She and my mother have been in touch via e-mail over the last year -she now lives for most of the year in Spain.
