More about this scene

Overlooking the corner of Manchester Road and Deardengate in the centre of Haslingden, and readily identified by the large clock projecting into the street, is the Commercial Hotel. In 1907, Emily Pankhurst addressed a crowd from one of its upper windows, rallying support in her crusade to achieve suffrage for women.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember the sound of the clogs at 6am as people came past 6 Hilton Street (second house from mill).
I was born at No 4 Hilton Street (in March 1955) which was the shop on the very corner at the end of the street nearest to the chimney. Darwen Paper Mill is the mill opposite the houses, with of course India Mill at the end.
