I am having trouble navigating this site so bear with me.

I am doing a history of my Edwards family who were from Stainland and settled on Holland Street in Accrington. Father, his sons, his brother were all stone masons. All were living on Holland Street in 1881. Some of these houses were still being built then.

I have several questions.

I assume this family of stone masons were building these terraces or others like them. Where did the stone come from?

What was happening that all this building was going on then?

Did my family buy these houses or did they rent?

Can anyone fill in the history for me of these terraced houses on Holland Street?

If anyone is descended from this Edwards family, I will be happy to share what I know.

Thank you.
