In 1901 chances are that a lot of the Abram dancers were miners from the Maypole colliery. Worth reading up on the colliery disaster of 1881 BTW. Anyhow, back to the topic. When you connect the miners with the Morris dancers you get yet another black face connection. Cornwall had many miners and a lot came to the Bacup area. Makes you think but I am not qualified to comment whether the connections are valid. The late Eddie Cass would have know but I never asked him!

Whatever the connections, they no longer exist and we should move on anyway.
