Plantation Road is one of Acrington's most famous roads, during the 19th century it was home to two families of the era (Hargreaves and Grimshaw)..
Between them i think they employed 50-60% of the working population in the printing and cotton industries.
The last person to live at Arden Hall was Alderman Bury,a former Mayor of Accrington.I believe they had a Archaeological Dig around that area too.
