More about this scene
An ancient village recorded in the Domesday Book as Penictune, it has a stream flowing through it like Downham has, and it also lies at the foot of Pendle Hill. Fiddle Bridge, a large stone, formed a way across the water – it is now overgrown. Devil's Bridge was used for packhorses. Post Office Row (right) is remembered for Ellen Haworth, a diminutive lady. She was the schoolmaster's daughter, who kept the post office in 1890, and never left the village. At the end of this 18th-century row was a well, the village water supply. The pure spring water of Pendle is still favoured for home-brewed ales.
