Cooke lens for Blackpool

 In 1865 the Rev James Parkes of Adelaide Street, Blackpool purchased a Barlow lens in a tube from Thomas Cooke & Sons York.

I don’t know what kind of telescope he had or which church he was vicar of as there appears to be more than one church in Adelaide Street in the 19th century.
