More about this scene
Grindleton is a classic case of village development: here ancient roads cross, and ribbon building took place along those roads. Many of the old houses were weaver's cottages, built in a time when hand-loom weaving was the major industry in the area. The road from Sawley to Waddington crossed the back road from Clitheroe to Slaidburn here, so the cloth produced from local wool could be taken to the markets and fairs on packhorses. We are looking up from the bottom of the village. 'H Smalley, Grocer & General Dealer, licensed to sell tobacco and cigars', says the sign on the left. The assistant peeps out of the shop, and there are two other ladies sitting in the first floor window, keeping an eye on the goings-on.
