Re: DYKE NOOK, Whalley Road, Accrington

OR perhaps this: From Old Homesteads
WOOLHURST BANK, "The old home of the Haworths was afterwards occupied by James Barnes (1767-1852) and family. The Barnes' afterwards removed to Daisy Hill in Manchester Rd.
Jonathan Barnes, who also lived in Accrington House after the Peels left, was of this family. An old tradesman's diary mentions Jonathan Barnes mowing grass in the meadows behind Abbey Street. It was from HIM that BARNES STREET takes its name."
