More about this scene
Over 150 years ago, Church Street was the main way out of the town to Chatburn. Dates can be seen on house frontages - one drainpipe bears the date 1757. The old road wound through Pimlico, but the 1826 turnpike road was straight, passing Clitheroe Hospital, once the workhouse. Spring water in cans at 5 old pence was hawked about the streets by one enterprising native before piped water came. Thirsty navvies would appreciate that, and perhaps even John Macadam himself. He was an advisor in the construction of the road.
