  • Greenshaw Farm Off Barnoldswick Road Foulridge
    Price £500,000 Greenshaw Farm Off Barnoldswick 4 2 2 3 Road Foulridge EPC Rating: F Council Tax Band: F LOCATION Travelling away from Barrowford along Barnoldswick Road, past the Cross Gaits heading towards Whitemoor Reservoir. At the 90 degree right hand turn, turn left into Gisburn track. You then have to do a U turn and proceed down Barnoldswick Road taking the first track on the left hand side. Proceed to the end and this is Greenshaw Farm. DESCRIPTION Set with one of the most idyllic views in Pendle overlooking Slipper Hill Reservoir and Lake Burwain and having views in the distance towards The Herders and Boulsworth Hill, this semi detached four bedroom farmhouse offers fantastic family living accommodation which briefly comprises substantial lounge with wood burning stove with snug area, farmhouse dining kitchen, separate dining room and garden room at ground floor level, all having outstanding South facing views to the front. At first floor level there is the master bedroom with en-suite, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Externally, the property is set with patio and gardens to the front and has a detached double garage with remote roller shutter door, and a substantial garden area to the rear suitable for the growing family. The property benefits from LPG fired central heating, UPVC double glazing and in our opinion requires an internal inspection for its size and location to be fully appreciated. Conveniently located being in an elevated position within a short drive of the bars, bistros and boutiques that both Barrowford and Barnoldswick have to offer and for the commuter wishing to travel into Manchester or Preston, the M65 motorway is within a 15 minute drive.

  • Memories of Colne
    MEMORIES OF COLNE By Mrs. Cryer, of Burnley (Formerly Miss Margaret Jane Ward, of Colne) in Collaboration with Mr. Willie Bell, of Burnley (Formerly of Colne) Reprinted from the “Colne and Nelson Times” March to August 1910 (Scanned with optical character recognition and reformatted by Craig Thornber, January 1998) -1- Introduction In 1910, Mrs. Cryer produced a series of articles for the “Colne and Nelson Times”, recalling her memories of Colne in the 1850’s. She had a remarkable memory and recounted the names and details of most of the town’s shop-keepers and their families. The book is a treasure trove for all those with family history interests in Colne in the middle of last century. To my delight, at the end of Chapter IV, I found mention of Miss Margaret Cragg, the sister of my great great grandfather. The book based on Mrs. Cryer’s articles is now very rare, so the opportunity has been taken to reproduce it. This version has been produced from a photocopy of the book by computer scanning, using an optical character recognition programme. Computer scanning is never completely accurate, particularly with punctuation marks, and when working from a document with low contrast. While the final version has been subjected to proof reading and computer based spelling checks, a few errors may remain, for which I am responsible. Many of the sentences and paragraphs are very long and the division into chapters is somewhat arbitrary, but the book has been reproduced as written. The numbering of chapter XIII has been corrected and a few changes have been made to the format for reasons of clarity.
