Eeew hek ... Clash of the Titans going on here ...
The Railway was also called this in 1849 too Bob ... according to maps.
The Highbrake Hotel in Huncoat became the Railway Hotel .. but was 1893 ... so maybe planning allowed this then. Is still difficult to get a property change name even today
Thing is .. this George Kendall was listed as an Inn Keeper in 1841 on Blackburn Street. Not sure how much of this was built though before became Blackburn Road .. he seems to be the only one ... more research I guess..
More to say, but off out soon .. where ?... meeting of the local history society on a lecture about the Leeds/Liverpool canal ...
Have learnt plenty on this recent journey, awakened a new interest in me (still got the others though LOL).
Luvs ya' Ret Babe (he'll hate me for that) x
