Yes, the name of that temperance bar, in the 1960s, was Ormerods, I remember they had a daughter named Irene, I think they had family connections with Edward Thomas Ormerod, the chap that invented and patented a detaching hook for the prevention of accidents from over-winding in mine shafts, about 1867.
