Hi Carol,
No I still can't find an old pic of The Printers. I know there are some out there - it's just finding one.

Julian

Hi Julian,

Is this your relative on the Accrington Absent Voters List (1918)..?
From the page Church-Polling District J on Andrew Jackson's Accrington Pals site...

Number. / Surname / Other Names / Number / Rank / Unit / Address / Comments
4910 / Smith / Nathan / 103608 / Gnr./ R.G.A / 11 & Stable /
Abode - Printers Arms, Oswaldtwistle

Andrew has transcribed the whole list and you can search by Surname or District.
The Index is http://www.pals.org.uk/avl/index.htm
Andrew gave me permission some time ago to extract any SMITH data from his fabulous Accrington Pals site, and I've done that mainly for collecting extra info about those who were killed in action (to help with compilation of my "East Lancs SMITH WW1 Roll of Honour" - Still a lot to do on that yet!!).

Did Nathan survive the War? as I haven't got anything else about him.

Printers Arms, Oswaldtwistle .......
There might be an old photo of the Printers Arms , or at least of Union Road, at the Blackburn Cotton Town Site, or possibly at the Francis Frith site's Oswaldtwistle collection. I've never got around to checking those yet. But here is a modern-day photograph of the pub, from a collection by photographer Alexander P Kapp at Geograph.org.uk
