Next picture.
Where was this.
what was its name.
I've chopped some of the upper part off,
to make it harder.

Re: Puzzle Picture 2

Three storey houses were likely handloom weaver's dwellings, where the work went on on the top floor. Other than that I can see no other clues

Ah but there was, a building in the background would have been a major clue.

Sorry Margaret, no handloom weavers, the buildings on the other side were only two story's high, those shown on the left were some of the last cellar dwellings.

Re: Puzzle Picture 2

Done some checking on hand loom weaving in Acc,
In the 1851 census there were 48 hand loom weavers left. There were 994 power loom weavers,
2 Silk weavers and two Dandy loom weavers.

The houses on the left showing three storeys did'nt exist in 1851, by the time they were built, hand loom weaving had vanished.

They were demolished as part of the Hyndburn culverting?

Sorry Margaret, all the culverting had been done by the mid 1860. Those are two children peeping over the wall, the lad on the right is wearing a flat cap.
I don't think any photography was being done in Acc in the mid 1860. That picture is circa 1900.

Nah, nah ... look what I have found online from a one Pat Smith :-Attachment 14688

Looks like she had the same picture as you :theband:

Links between Settle and Accrington

And I won't stop googling :p... and no way will you stop Margaret ... gawd ... might as well chuck her in the Hyndburn to be swept out to sea.

Is better fun walking around though (well, when it's not raining).

Re: Puzzle Picture 2

I was just going to question all those folds Katex and Retlaw, cos I certainly havent heard off them, not that means owt, cos in this game "local history" you are learning ALL THE TIME! Would love to know where you found all that info though Katex?

Atarah
Well done Katex by the way! :-)

She only got two of them, the other names she put in her list are streets, she was just being daft with them, none of them are old or were even in existence in those days to have been a Fold.
Folds date back to the 17th & 18th century.

Retlaw.

He is correct Atarah ... did make them up, however, he did state in an earlier post was going to put up more folds, so seemed to be the best place to start on street names around his area .. was lucky to hit on one. Started to google, lo and behold .. up popped Black Abbey Fold and that article.

Elementary my dear Watson, .. you just have to know how to manipulate the opposite sex ... and Retlaw is an easy target ;):D

Right Bluebell you've asked for itwhen you've answered puzzle 3, the next one you won't be able to goggle it. Thats cheating and being lazy, back when I was collecting all these pictures, the only computer available was a Z81, and my first calculator was from Sinclair build it yourself.

You never did say which source did you use for No1 Culvert St.[B][COLOR=#0000ff]
