bacigalupo... i can only remember this name, but dont know where from was he a barber? and my spelling is also a guess, i bet some one remembers the name,
There was a Barber, by that name, who had a shop in the 1940's, about 200 - 300 yards down on the left hand side of Henry St (coming from Blackburn Rd) just before either Barnes or Edward St I'm leaning towards Barnes St (my memory fails me at times).
Hi,
I can recall in the fifties and sixties a barber on Warner St. with the name of "Bacigalupo".

Yes , and the same Bacigalupo prior to his shop on Warner Street had had a barber's shop on Richmond Hill Street .
I think you're wrong there C. The chap you are referring to was called Eric Bernasconi. I worked with him in the early 70's for a couple of years at Clayton Goodfellow Engineering at the bottom of Audley Range in Blackburn. I remember him telling me he worked at Lang Bridge before it closed down. We had some good laughs with Eric, I remember the stammer.
There was an Accrington bobbie called Bernasconi- a local lad.
There were two Bernasconi's at Accy Cop shop, the youngest one went to Woodnook Council School, they lived on Hudson St, their father worked at Bulloghs. Tom served his time as a joiner, worked on Clement St. Left the cops and opened a hardware shop in Cherry Tree, Blegburn.
I'm pretty sure Eric grew up on Bishop Street, just around the corner from Hudson Street in the same area of Woodnook. He must be related to these two brothers.
It's going back to the 1950s . The first barber's I ever went to .
There was a ladies' hairdressers upstairs , possibly Bacigalupo's wife's .
Maybe it was Higher Antley Street and not Richmond Hill Street . I'm not absolutely certain now that I come to think of it .
No , it's Richmond Hill Street and Higher Antley Street which run parallel to each other .
Oooops! Thanks for putting me right JCB
