Accrington's History
New one for the history buffs.
Found this whilst browsing old newspapers. Oxford Journal Sept 10th 1808 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. Retlaw. |

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
