More about this scene

The fells sheltering this village, most of which lies at the foot of this steep main street, rise to 1,000ft. The rest of the village follows the high road above the River Ribble. In the 19th century and later, the village was busy with spinning and weaving, a felt hat works and a jam factory - the population was twice that of the 20th century. This scene is remarkably traffic-free except for one motor car (left). At the post office (center left), reached by a narrow ginnel, Wall's ice cream is sold.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I remember in the 1950s my sister Annette and I used to spend some time on a farm owned by Mr Thomas Holgate who was a friend of the family and really enjoyed those times. The farm was called Townley House and my dad used to help with the hay making. I also used to go there occasionally to do jobs when I worked for Roland Ford plasterers and slaters in the 1960s. I now live in Australia.
