Re: Peel Arm Cottage
I lived at 249 Dill Hall from 1961- 1966, and at no 60 from 1984-1991, so I have lived 'at both ends'. I do not know of any property then, or still existing, which might be described as a cottage, since that term indicates (to me) pre 1900.
We do have local history enthusiasts as members- who may know, and some who have archives of photos from the past. So - fingers crossed for you  |

Re: Peel Arm Cottage
Yes Cashy - that property next to the petrol station might be it - it does look old enough

Re: Peel Arm Cottage
When I was a little lad there were some horse stables belonging to the Council I think. They later became a Garage and Filling Station. Well Peel Arm Cottage was just behind on the lane up to the canal.Opposite was Steiners Works. My grandad was a foreman there.I hope this description helps to pin-point where it is.I understand that a road was built which came from Accrington via Hyndburn Road and Countess Street and across to Rishton. I hope that they didnt demolish the house to build the road Thank you to all who took the interest to reply.

Re: Peel Arm Cottage
The new road goes from the Dunkenhalgh to Hyndburn Road and cuts through Dill Hall Lane just past where the stables used to be which is now a petrol station.

Re: Peel Arm Cottage
Going of the maps the others have provided, I'm fairly confident that this is the cottage
