Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

Can anyone tell me if there was anything at the bottom of Burnley road, further down from the Hire Shop, there is just a patch of land there now, the building at the other side used to be the old video shop.

Just seems odd.

TIA

Think i get what u mean in between the owd vid shop & upwards :confused: think there was an old factory site there way back when that they knocked down - is that what u mean:D

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

i seem to recall a farrier on burnley road
with a workshop underneath
up what we called the ragshop back

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

Thats the Place.:)

Wonder why it hasnt been built on again?

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

Thanks.

Workshop underneath. as in the cellar?

Ah phew! was 1st place i thought of, used to live round there when young so passed many times on way to vid shop LOL, i remember it being up & remember it being knocked down, dont know what they planned to do with it other than grow weeds & look an eyesore, it was pulled down if i seem to remember rightly around the time bases of manor/lodge/sultan street at the bottom were pulled down & before the planned construction of the eastgate carriageway:rolleyes:

Ah the memories:D

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

quite possibly but it had its own entrance
as i say on the rag shop back
the back lane running up burnley road

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

never thought of it as a factory,more of a workshop,was one leval with an asbestos roof i think, was also a green painted wood trellis gate on burnley rd,as well as the "Raggy Back" enterance,with a few rusty old pieces of ironwork in the burnley rd side yard.

Is that the place that used to do the springs for vehicles?

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

yep thats what was in the yard rusty owd springs,you just jogged me memory KSH,lol just below it on burnley rd,was also an "Estate Agents" - Pembertons, who closed i think late 60s,always wondered wether they went bust or bought out?

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

It used to be owned by Walker Farrimond not sure if it still is, it wasn't built on because it makes their garage visable from Eastgate or so I was told by someone who worked for them.

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

Confirm that it was a vehicle spring workshop and the last time I saw it it needed pulling down before it fell down.Think the proprietor's name was Moore

Re: Bottom Of Burnley Road.
 

that name seems to ring a bell Tubbyless,
