I know, but is more to do with the lecturer who comes from Bolton and he is very elderly. It will be re-scheduled.

Will miss the mince tart and glass of wine (or orange juice for you) too...

Oh my gosh you are an absoulte star this is perfect!! Iv just seen it on the thread you posted on thanks so so much for this. This website is amazing. I went to the library and found the 1871 and 1881 census which was interesting as it looks like the daughter of the innkeeper, Elizabeth Grimshaw took over the pub!

Highly recommended. Cath used to be our librarian. She's VERY knowledgable in the Bulloughs. She goes to Rhum, volunteering to work on the family's castle.

I hope there will be no bad language in this lecture.

Sir, this is a respectable society ... not the back room of your local pub..

The attached Carte de Visite is labelled John Bullough. Anyone know if this is the John Bullough. The photograper, Elliott & Fry, was at 7 Gloucester Terrace between 1886 and 1892 so dates fit.

I, myself, have not got a clue. Will try and print it out and ask the speaker on Thursday.

Hi Medusa.
I've already contacted the speaker, and she confirms it is the John Bullough, although its in a format she has never seen before.
Would SPW be prepared to donate it to the Library Collection.

Retlaw.

Yes (but can I be sure that the County Council will never sell it). Attached are another couple of CDVs of Accrington worthies which I also have which could go along with it. Riley Ormerod and Robert Hermon-Hodge, 1st Baron Wyfold of Accrington.
