It ran down the hill between Windy Bank and Dockray Street. Somewhere behind the Red Lion Hotel!
Re: Bonny Colne
Never heard of Cabbage Lane, Was it parallel to Buck St.? or was it just a local name that disappeared over time?
Just seen your post, still can't imagine it being a named lane.

Re: Bonny Colne
Yes, Cabbage Lane down one side of the buildings and Buck Street on the other. Have a look on the map I posted at the start of the topic.
Re: Bonny Colne
I've just seen it mentioned in a book called Memories of Colne but I had never heard of it before.
So that image is actually Cabbage Lane?
That's a great image, Wendy and thanks for sharing.

Aerial shot of Colne taken in 1935.
I'm looking for Turney Crook here, Wendy as that was also mentioned in the same paragraph of that book I mentioned.

Re: Bonny Colne
I also did a bit of googling and found Cabbage Lane mentioned in the Annals of Colne. Recruits to fight the French in 1795 lined up in twos all the way from the Market Cross down to Cabbage Lane.
Turney Crook runs from Ivegate to Windy Bank, there is a block of sheltered housing there now but a few remnants of old Colne remain!

Thanks Gloria, it's lost world now.
Re: Bonny Colne
Church Street looking West in 1863.
In the centre background is the Ivegate town clock, built in 1841.
The clock, which was of enormous size and weight, was sadly demolished in 1875.

Re: Bonny Colne
The clock was apparently so heavy that it threatened the integrity of the building! As there was a clock in the tower of St Bartholomew's (next door) at the time, it was unnecessary - and the Town Hall came along a few years later.

Re: Bonny Colne
Municipal Hall, which opened on 15th March 1902, and the Old Market Cross which has now been re sited at the front of the indoor market.
Re: Bonny Colne
The Arcade circa 1893.
Formed by roofing over the space between the houses of Rook Street and Church Meadows.
The Arcade and houses were pulled down in the early 1930's

Windy Bank, possible around 1930 (ish)

Re: Bonny Colne
Am I OK to use some of these images and superimpose them over a current image of the same location?
