You're right about the reservoir, it was between the end of Princess street and Hyndburn road, where the fire station and Lidl are now accordiing to the 1890 map.

I will ask her next time I'm in Clitheroe where she now lives.
It must have been in the late 30's I would assume, because if it was a wharehouse of sorts during the war, maybe that would explain why my mother who married in 1943 was married at the old Antley Church and not the Bethel. Then again my mother lived in Holland street, not to far from the Antley, as did her brother, my uncle, who also got married at the Antley.
Did Holland St come under Antley's parish area perhaps...reading the bahns and all that sort of thing......?????
From the picture of the Chapel from the side where it appears to stick out a fair way from the building in the foreground, you can see why the council compulsory purchased part of the front gardens of both cottages to widen the road to its current width, which is what my friends grandma in Ivy cottage told her. It happened within the last 50 years she said.
