Accrington's History
New one for the history buffs.
Found this whilst browsing old newspapers.
Oxford Journal

Bankrupts.
James Entwistle, of Dunnyshop Factory, New Accrington, Lancashire. Cotton and Weft Spinner.
Sept 1808 at White Horse Clitheroe.
New one on me. Dunnyshop Factory.

Yes its the same Dunnyshop, but factory
beats me, at that time even Broad Oak Factory was still a small concern.

Re: Accrington's History
Just an observation--put a comma after Dunnyshop might indicate that he lived there but factory was in Accrington.

Re: Accrington's History
Jonas Broadley, 1698-1770, lived at Dunnyshop for much of his life and he was a weaver, but I never heard of a factory there before. I wonder if the Entwistle FHS would know? Marie Ball

Pleased to learn your twiddly bits are in the correct places, Retlaw ..
Do you think it may have been a cottage industry ?

Hiya Snakehead.
Wondered when you'd chip in, since when has a cottage been a factory.
And mind your own business about my twiddley bits.
