Hi Robyn, nice to know you are still interested in your family tree. I am just "worried" that what I stumbled on yesterday, you may already know of. Were you aware of or, have you seen the faded photo that one of your rellies who lived in Canada had in his possession, now perhaps his family has it. Its your Barnes family, photo taken outside Whinside. A huge area of what we know as Whalley Road was known as Dyke Nook, some of it known as Lower Dyke Nook, which is where the house known as Hirstwood stood. From a 1976 newspaper article which I found "by pure chance" yesterday, whilst looking for something else, I am able to give you lots of family detail! More to follow .....
Dyke Nook House was around the Marlborough Club area of Whalley Rd and demolished late 1930's.
