Early Spring Hill
Trying to piece together the beginnings of the Spring Hill area (17th & 18th century landowners, mill owners, Housing development, etc). Can anyone help ?

Re: Early Spring Hill
Hello Dialynne, welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy it. Most of the folks that will be of help to you are night people and on most of the time during the week. I'm sure that someone will be able to help you with your interests. We have quite a few people who love the areas local history....

I'm afraid I'm no help either but I'm sure some of the historically minded members will be able to come up with lots of interest to you.

Re: Early Spring Hill
Cheers Doug..Didn't realise they had classroom assistants in them days as well !!! Does anyone know when the following mills were built: Spring Hill (what is now ossy mills coach park on Spring Hill Rd), Union (Rist wires), and Moscow mill. Moscow Mill is on a map of 1848, and so I believe is the Pickup Arms which was then called Lodge Tavern. And Spring Hill Rd is but a footpath leading to what is now Spring Hill House.

Re: Early Spring Hill
Hi Dialynne,
The best advice is to drop into Accrington Reference Library, the staff are friendly helpful and knowledgeable. If they don't know the answer to your question they will probably know someone who does. Good luck.
