Trying to date these shoes.. Used in Hyndburn School accy when kids used to work in the Mills blah blah

Bottom of shoe says "From Hyndburn School Accrington lancs"  But I have a feeling this was put on later when being given to someone else.

Anyone any info?

Not a lot of information for you Kipax, but 'Hynburn School 'could be the old Hynburn Park school.  

My Dad used to be a pupil there in the 1930s.
 
try the ozzy clog dancers im not sure where they are but they might be able to help
you sometimes see them in front of accy town hall

or if you go to www.morrismen.saddleworth.org.uk/men.html
then e-mail to the link david ingram he might be able to help
 
Well nearly.. I went to the site. Used the email listed for David but it came straight back as an "Unrouteable address"

Shame :(  Thanks anyway mick :)
 
sorry about that but is you go to a search engine and type "clogs" or lancashire clogs" there is a lot of sites to pick from
 
There very old and AFAIK authentice clogs worn by some poor child who would have been forced to work in the mill while at Hyndburn School

Not for sale (Unless an offer I cant refuse) but would swap for anything old that has Accrington or Hyndburn written on it.. Pottery especialy.. not books or the like.
 
I have an old picture of accy but proberbly can't do the swopsy thing as i'm not in the country, but if you ever do think of selling, i'm very interested, any idea how much the're worth?
 
sorry harryx when i got to london i found i had left the pic of the clogs at home
will keep looking
;D
 
I am gonna put these on ebay next week... the only reason for this is.. I dont know how to look after them.. I darnt clean them in case I get that wrong.. polish would ruin them I suspect... There not in anything so collecting dust on the side..

There quite small because they are tiny little childrens for mill use..

Gonna place on e-bay starting price ?? dunno ?? and see where they go from there... Will sell first if interested but I am pretty sure they will go for a real good price on ebay... Offers anyone.. or take yer chances on ebay :)
 
sorry to hear this harryx
and sorry i could not find more info for you hope you get thousands  ;D
 
Try ossy mills (bubble factory) theres an old guy in there most weekends who makes clogs, might be able to give you some info
 
There was a pic and they have been seen.. dunno where the pics gone though.. must of got deleted.. heres one I made today..

Underneath it says From/ Hundburn School, Accrignton, Lancs and they are a little childs clogs from whewn school and working in the mill was the same thing..
