OLD PHOTOS OF BURNLEY
Newspapers cuttings from the Burnley Express in the 1930s, glued into a
scrapbook.
The scrapbook was found among my father’s books, and probably belonged to my
grandfather Sam
Hanna, though here and there in the scrapbook the stamp of the original
owner (and compiler?) is to be seen: W.H. Nutter / Grocer and Off-Licence /
39A Oxford Road / Burnley.
My additional comments are in orange type. My captions to photos
originally uncaptioned or requiring differentiated captions are also in orange type. The scrapbook had the
following sequence of photos, which I have numbered:

1 Thorneybank Station
Few
Burnley people can remember the days when Manchester-road Station was known
as Thorneybank Station, but the accompanying photograph indicates that little
change has taken place since the days of our grandparents. True, the costumes
of the sightseers in the picture have changed, and the “ Diomed “ engine has
given place to larger and more powerful engines, but the covered platform and
offices retain the same familiarity. The picture, submitted by Mr. Charles
Nelson, of 12, Lawn-street, Burnley, was taken about 1850, shortly after the
station was opened and had secured its name from Thorneybank-street.

4 Bank House
The old Mansion, pulled down nineteen years ago, contained but little of
the original structure erected before 1500. The projection at the rear was
built before 1680; the part facing Curzon Street soon after its purchase for
St. Peter’s Church in 1732. For well over 100 years it was used as a
residence for the Clergy of the Parish Church, superseding the old Parsonage
in Massey Street. Our photograph was taken whilst it was in the occupation of
the late Mr. (forename illegible) Shackleton

March 2005: I’m looking for information on Richard Evans. Richard was a Baptist
minister in Burnley Lancashire, UK. circa 1830-1860. He had a son Lawrence
Cadwalader Evans (1851-?) who was a cloth merchant.

14 Shorey Green has gone, and
with it all memories of the festivals that must have been held thereon. For
there were Bride-ales and Church-ales and Whitsun Ales in Burnley as matter
of record, and doubtess other unrecorded merry-makings. And where else would
these be held in fine weather but on Shorey Green!

15 Shorey Well 1
Shorey Well supplied the Top o’ th’ Town with water from time immemorial, and
was so far identified with Burnley that the rallying cry of local Tories was
“Church and Shorey.” The stonework of this ancient well is now preserved in
Cockpit Wood, between the Cannons and the Grammar School.

Shorey Well, fed from a never-failing Spring, for centuries supplied the Top
o’ t’ Town with drinking water, and was so far identified with the district
that the Tory Slogan in all Election Fights was “ Church and Shorey.” As this
is the only existing view which gives a detailed view of the Well and its
approach, Messrs. Massey venture to think that it will be welcome to many
Burnley people of the older generation.

These old Houses were built in the middle of the XVII Century, the Quoin with
the date on it being removed from an earlier building which might not have
occupied this site, and which was built in 1597, the thirty-ninth year of
Queen Elizabeth’s reign. Beyond the fact that they are well over 250 years
old these Houses have no recorded History.

one of the very few places which preserved the pent-house roof over the front

be told.

25 The White House Church
Street, was built as a residence for the Perpetual Curate of St. Peter’s,
after the Parsonage in Massey Street and Old Bank House had been abandoned.
The Rev. John Raws lived here until he built his house in Bank Parade. Later,
the building found various uses. In 1890, when the photograph was taken, the
first place on the left hand had recently been occupied by Sir. H. Gibson,
auctioneer, whose sign remained over the window. The next door was the Good
Templar’s Hall, then came Mr. S. C. Nothard’s Dining Rooms, a little house
entered from the ginnel, long occupied by the town Bellman, at the time it
was used by Mrs. Alice Summers, greengrocer, who also sold fish next door.

26 The Centre about 1895.
Commencing from the left are seen the “Gaumless,” officially “ The Obelisk,”
the “Golden Boot”, then kept by Mr. Elias Dunkerley, the Tram Office, Thomas
Baines’ new premises, Cowgill & Smith’s, Slater’s Shoe Shop, a
Confectioner’s, (was it Redford’s?) and Harkers’ tin-shop. Next comes Munn’s
Corner, with Boston’s and Cryer’s shops just discernible. On the other side,
the tall building in the distance (still standing} was Harrison’s Grocery
Store. Next in the low white building came Whalley, the barber, whose son
became a jockey of repute. The rest of this block is the old Boot Inn. The
White Lion and the shops forward to Boston’s Brush Shop are almost obscured.
Then come MacEvoy, the tailor, the Clock Face, Bonn’s Leather Shop, and
Eastwood’s Music Shop.

how little the place has altered in 76 years. On the right, none of the
buildings seen have been pulled down except the one just past the Thorn, now
known as “The Blue Clock.” To the left, the only ones rebuilt, until the
projecting block is reached that was pulled down for St. James’s Hall, are
three licensed houses, the “Red Lion,” “Bay Horse,” and “Mason’s Arms.”

28 The Old Red Lion stood
only 23 feet from the Bull, for which reason it was pulled down* more than sixty years ago.
It was once kept by James Pate, whose four-horse stage-waggon long formed the
chief means of carrying goods to and from Manchester, taking a full day for
the journey each way.
*Demolished in 1868 according to A SKETCH OF BURNLEY SEVENTY YEARS

29 Th’ Black Hoil* was a two-storey building in which the Parish
Constable of a hundred years ago confined evildoers, the females being
accommodated on the upper floor. Those were days when one Constable and one
Parson served Burnley very well. Later, the building was made lower and put
to uses as shown, but to the end it retained certain clumsy iron staples in
rear walls, relics of its original use.

St. Peter’s emblem. The Old Cross Keys was built by the incumbent of the Old
Church on church land. In the distance can he seen Winn Hill and the bottom
of Sandygate, where the corner house was for many years a toll-bar. It had a
gate controlling Padiham Road and a chain across Sandygate, which was but
little used by vehicles after the formation of Manchester Road.

36 Bridge End Brewery 1
Bridge End Brewery, whilst not so ancient as the Old Brewery, established
at Swallow Hall before 1740, has been a Brewery for more than 150 years. The
land on which it stands was formerly the Orchard and Home Pasture belonging
to Calder Vale House. A ruinous barn at least three hundred years old was
pulled down to make room for the new Offices on the right of the picture.
This photograph was taken about 1862.

37 Bridge End Brewery 2
Bridge End Brewery. This view, taken from a rare contemporary lithograph,
shows the place as it appeared about 1830, when the style of the Firm was
Massey and Bentley. The Fashion in horse-collars is worth noting, as also the
fact that Westgate was then a road so rural that grass grew in it. The
building in the foreground is still in use, though concealed by subsequent
additions. Its position may be fixed by the archway.

38 The Sun Inn was built about
120 years ago by James Veevers, for many years being kept as a “town house”
and used by those tradesmen to whom the bustle and noise of the coaching
inns, where all service was liable to be withdrawn for an hour or so on the
arrival of a coach, was distasteful.

41 Wapping which is built upon the site of Burnley Green, has changed
much of late years. In the engraving, the white building is Harrison’s Tallow
Chandlery, of fragrant memory. Nearer is enn the corner of the “King’s Arms”
Vault, where, in haytime, the fights were free for all. In the low building
past Harrison’s Tommy Ross sold groceries seven days a week. Beyond that is
the “Black Dog”, long kept by Joe Myers, and the “Gazette” Printing Office.
In the dark building on the extreme right Tommy Room made clogirons.

42 The Courthouse, Keighley Green, was built for a Wesleyan Chapel and
Sunday School in 1788-89, when Burnley was “a populous little market town” of
fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, and was so used until 1852, in which year the
premises were sold to the County Magistrates for use as a Police Station and
Court-house. In this use the building continued for about 60 years, the
court-room being frequently lent for public meetings, concerts, and oratorios
during the early part of this time.

44 The Yorkshire Hotel was originally the residence of the Foulds
family (who later built Rishton Mill) with a garden in front, whose extent is
still shown by the paving in front. Later, the officers of various
detachments quartered at Lane Bridge Barracks lived here, amongst whom was
Captain James Yorke Scarlett, of the the Dragoon Guards, who wooed and won
Miss Caroline Hargreaves of Bank Hall.

45 The Culvert was built in 1796-7.For nearly a hundred years it
remained without substantial change, wide enough for both carts and foot
passengers, and for each end to be obstructed by a gas-lamp. About 1890, two
foot-ways, profanely termed “gimlet-holes” were made through the abutments,
and the whole was replaced by a concrete structure in 1926. Through the arch
a part of the old Yorkshire Hotel is seen.

the Pupils were transferred to new premises adjoining St. Mary’s Church, and
the building was put to base uses for about fifty years.

51 Extwistle Hall was
built by John Parker, circa 1580, the rear wing being added in 1637-38. In
its prime Exwistle paid tax on 11 hearths, a number only equalled by Towneley
in this part of the Blackburn Hundred. Soon after an explosion in 1717 the
Parkers migrated to Cuerden, and for some 200 years the old mansion has been
occupied as a moor-side farm.

52 Worsthorne Old Hall has
little recorded history. Built in 1638 by Robert Halstead, one of the Rowley family, and
Elisabeth his wife, it became more and more ruinous, the ground beneath being
mined, until in 1893 it was taken down. Hamerton, who knew the place well,
makes repeated references to it as the most complete and harmonious house of
the type he ever saw, and “used to think that if ever I built a house I
should like to have Worsthorne Hall simply copied in stone of its own size.”

53 The Towneley Gate was built little more than a century back, as
part of fhe extensive works undertaken by Mr. Peregrine Towneley when he came
into the Estate. As one of the very few buildings in the town which are not
wholly utilitarian in aim, this effectively-grouped bit of sham-Gothic has
been loved by four generations of Burnley People.

54 Towneley was the recorded home of Towneleys and their ancestors for
nearly a thousand years, before it was purchased bv the Corporation in 1901.
Parts of the internal walls are of XIV Century workmanship, but nothing
visible and above ground is much over three hundred years old. Most of the
front shown in our view is the work of Bonomi, done about 130 years ago.

56 The Turn-Bridge at Finsley dates from the year 1797. After nearly
ninety years of use, the present Bridge, which goes under the old name, was
built in 1885, during the Mayoralty of Alderman John Baron. Our Photograph
also shows the “Dockyard” adjoining, where for well over a century the
Company’s Barges were built.

two names Hollingreave Road and Parkinson Street.

59 Traycle Row was actually to
the north of the cottages here shown, and is now pulled down. These houses
were a continuation of the famous Row, which derived its name from the fact
that, as it was more costly than the builder anticipated, he lived on
bread-and-treacle until it was cleared. They are good examples of the snug
solid cottages that were built about a hundred years ago.

to the chief hostelry in the West End of the Town.

63 Pendle Hall is now a spruce modern Farm-house just across the new
Bridge at the foot of Ightenhill Park Lane, this replacing the house here
shown in 1882. The doorway shown had characteristic, perhaps unique,
decorations on the soffit*, and the interiro was rich
in linen-fold panelling, besides possessing many finely-carved oak beams. The
woodwork was removed to Huntroyde.
soffit = exposed underside of part of building, such
as an arch, staircase, etc.

64 Old Laund stands on the very verge of Pendle Forest, in its time a
comely and dignified House built by a rich copyholder. History it has none.
Hartleys, Emmots and others have lived here in complete obscurity, only
disturbed by marriages and the like, or the call to join in repelling Scots
invaders, who sometimes ravaged as far south as Skipton.
(Wikipedia 2006-10-30: At its origin in medieval England, Copyhold
tenure was tenure of land according to the custom of the manor, the “title
deeds” being a copy of the record of the manor court. Copyholds were
gradually enfranchised - turned into ordinary holdings of land, either
freehold or 999-year leasehold - during the 1800s. Legislation in the 1920s finally
extinguished the last of them.)

66 Burnley Express April 20 1963 - Have you noticed?
How well do you know your Burnley? Or, perhaps in the case of these pictures,
the question should be, how observant are you?
The places and figures shown here are all in prominent places in the town,
and are probably passed without a thought by hundreds of people each day.
The full-length statue, for instance, is passed by thousands every time there
is a football match at Turf Moor. And people who travel along Colne-road pass
close to three of the subjects shown here.
Can you pinpoint the exact location of all six? It you think you can, take a
look the next time you are passing and see whether they are in exactly the
same place as you think. If not, turn to Page 5 for the key to their
location.
(In the cutting only four are shown. The key is not included)
