Brocklehouse, Accrington, 1896
 

Does anyone recognise this house? Does anyone recognise this artist - T Duckworth? He painted this in 1896. I am intrigued. This was found when a relative was clearing the house of a deceased relative.

Sue, this photo is already up on another thread? I throught Retlaw had included an actual photo of the sketch? Where does it say it was painted in 1896. I would have guessed it was done by one of the talented Accrington Art School pupils in the 1930's.

Hi Atarah,

It says, if you enlarge it, that it was painted in 1896 and it also says the artists name. I tried to put it on the Dean Cronshaw site but failed and then realised I had actually succeeded on the 3rd attempt - sorry! My computer skills are not great I am afraid. I imagine, however, that this is a better place for it.

I have never heard of Brocklehouse - does anyone happen know anything about it?

Since no one seems to know of this place and the family are quite interested to know about it, I wonder if anyone can tell me the name of the local newspaper and I will see if I can get them to publish it. It may be quite interesting because it is so old and I understand Duckworth is a common name in Lancashire.

Gosh Sue, the request has only been on since this morning! I can help, but I've been out working all day so not got my local history books to hand! Just hang on a few days. Retlaw will probably reply when he's next on anyway.
