Hi weary tourist ..
There was a house called Laneside Veiw on Laneside, off whalley Road, owned by Peter Walker, but this wasnt the house called Whinside which was on Whalley Road. Whinside was a Home for the Elderly when i left 12 years ago, but had previously been owned by Gerry Jardine a business man in Accrington for years, before he retired. He had a Fancy Goods store on Little Blackburn Road. But Hey!! so much can change in a short time.
I have neglected to respond to so much interesting reading here this week ~ work takes up too much time and the days just arent long enough!
I moved from Oswaldtwislte to North Carolina almost 12 years ago, and dont get back to the area much. But its like we never left when i hear you all talking about these places and the historical connections that emerge from them.

Regards,
Karen
