My son, Alec Egan, has lost everything in this inferno. His house, his studio, & all of his art are gone. When he saw what was left of years of work (& love, & the birth of two children), he said "it is impossible to grasp that all of that life has been reduced to nothing more than a heap of ash." 🧵

We wrote a book! I'm a community history researcher, interested in the history of Blackburn, Lancashire. We put this book together about how the Cotton Exchange came to be and its life before it became a cinema. Lots discovered, lots more to go! 😁 www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2433732...
