On the right you can see the Swan Pub, then the New Jerusalem church, then you can see property which was known as "Briggs Yard" - a garage also covers this site.

The Wesley Church was demolished in 1966.
Brigg's yard was behind those properties on the right, one of them had been inhabited by Beesley the Charterist, round the back in Brigg's yard was an old stone staicase which led to the rooms where Accrington's first Co-operative society was born.

Retlaw.
