[petre]

Hello,

I am new to this site and I am not from Hyndburn. My name is John Petre an I live in Slaidburn on the Easington estate. My ancestors are originally from Accrington and owned the Dunkenhalgh estate, after the death of my late father I recently came across a few documents in a locked box in the Easington estate archives.

There was an accounting and finance report detailing the construction of a tunnel across the Dunkenhalgh estate to a hunting lodge and hand written book or diary which talked often of the Hammonds and Hargreaves family to who my great great great grandfather Henre Petre bequeathed the entire estate and its assets.

Does anybody have any information about these documents or evidence to support them.

Kind Regards
John Petre KtGC
