It's taken from in front of the Methodist Chapel on Nab Lane, looking towards the cottages, just next to where the now demolished Noel's pickle factory stood.

Hargreaves lived in what's now the old post office, and where he's thought to have invented his Spinning Jenny.

I remember it as where I used to buy my sweets, off a nice lady called Doreen.
