Couldn't find it this afternoon, was one path that did not have any signage at the bottom, which I figure must have been it. Difficult too on that road when you are travelling at 30 m.p.h. on a 50 with others up your boot ... understand like, so you don't hang around. Actually the next farm on was Mount Pleasant Farm ... see previous post.

Well, ya' got yer karma whether you want it or not you grouch ... :p As for the kiss ... could keep me lips closed if you prefer. LOL.
NO thanks
After you turn into Haslingden Old Rd from the top of Fielding Lane, Jumble Holes is after Mount Pleasant, the part of the road after jumble Holes is known as Round Hill, theres a Garden Center on your left as you go into Round Hill.

Grouch.

The chap your refering to was Roland Joynson, I knew him well through the Fire Brigade, whenever there was a serious incident he would be there.
My knowledge af the area comes from my time in the Fire Brigade, one of my jobs was to keep the records of farms, small holdings and other properties in outlying areas, checking access and water supplies, over 900 properties in our division area of over 200 square miles.

Each property had a card with a hand drawn map on the back showing the route distances and water supplies, all the details were kept in what we called a farm register, every appliance carried a copy, I still have my copy.

All that is now superceded by an electronic navigation system. a few years ago one of the officers showed me the new system and how it worked, it was based on a post code database, so I got the old cards out and beat it 5 out of 10, a lot of those places don't have post codes, they collect there own mail from a PO box number. So it shows local knowledge is best.

Well .. didn't think the above was correct .. not the map references you gave me originally ... but you were almost correct with your first direction.

Happened to go on Grane Road again this afternoon ... coming from the Haslingden direction ... spotted a name plate on the side of a largish house ... Bingo !! 'Jumble Holes' Is a house, painted a creamy colour, on the left hand side of the road. Was the expectation of a lane that put me off. Good job they didn't have a fire ... :D

Happy Bunny now http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-animal...miley-6086.gif ... will try and get a piccie for my friend.

The original directions were from Fielding Lane and are correct, the distance was given in 1/10ths of a mile, if you'd followed my original instruction, and kept note of the tripometer you would have stopped right at the entrance, give or take a yard or two. What should I have said 2nd driveway on right, when I drew up those instructions they were lane entrances, not my fault if some one tarts it up, and puts some tarmac down.

Found a picture of Busk here
Lancashire Lantern | Subjects | Item

It is one block further up the road than I expected it to be.
Those houses were still standing in my childhood.
If I had known then what I know now ..........
