Re: some more for you
Hi, I recognise the number 1 photo, but I will keep it to myself for a while, to keep the thread going.

Re: some more for you
Just to alter the thread slightly......I've just had a look on ebay and there is a 1908 postcard on there of "Warmden Falls, Accrington".
Is there something missing from my head? I have never, ever, heard of Warmden Falls...can anyone advise on where these are? Do they possibly have another name? Have they been altered/bricked over, whatever? If you are not familar with ebay, then just find their website and enter Accrington under "search" |

Re: some more for you
Aye, its a grand tinted picture I reckon...Warmden Falls?? I recall somewhere at the back of my mind hearing the name before, but I don't know where it is or was. I have a feeling it was somewhere up near little Blackpool, or Preistly Clough.
I'll have a look at my maps and docs from early last century, and see if I can dig up more info. Good thread, Tealeaf.......interesting |

Re: some more for you
Verwarmden or later spoken as Warmden is old Dutch for Warmed Water or warmer water. Could be near an old mill or such like. Wasn't there an old mill in Baxenden, near the old Man-Accy railway line?
Or somewhere near Broad Oak?? Minds thinking now....... |

Re: some more for you
Well, thats the only place I think it must be.....It's certainly not the Tinker...it must be the Hyndburn up near it's scource - although I do remember the little stream in the Valley at the back of the coppice which had a waterfall...I just have no knowledge of the name.

Warmden
Am still thinking ... think the Warmden flows down from the hills maybe, then meets up with the River Hyndburn behind the Bridge Pub in Accrington - still thinking ....

Re: some more for you
What/Where is that piccy from? It looks like it could be from where the river is covered over (in the town centre)......except there does'nt appear to be any river, just a pile of rubble.....intriguing!
