Location -- On the right hand side between Alliance St and Hollands Pies.
Various firms had occupied the site since about 1790 and in 1864 the works were taken over by the Baxenden Turkey Red Dyeing Co. Following failure in 1878 the dyeworks wes taken over by the works manager, Mr Kearns. Over 200 were employed in 1888. Eventually became Kearns Allan & Co.Ltd.
Alliance St is in the "dip" in the road and went down to Alliance Mill which closed in 1962 and was demolished after the 1964 flooding.
