History of Oakland’s wall an Church Street Barrowford also known as Hubby Causeway
Posted: 25 Apr 2021, 16:14
Good afternoon from Sunny Lancashire
I note on the site that there is a lot of historical data not just about Barnoldswick but other places like Barrowford
Pendle Council are considering knocking down or relocating (their words not mine) to facilitate building 200 eve cuticle houses that are not needed in this green field
We believe this wall defines the historical entrance to Barrowford from the West (Aka Wheatley Lane) There is also a very very old stone gate post which is on the opposite site of the public highway which we also believe defines the historical village gateway
The wall and the post are in the Conservation Area so clearly back in time someone realised or knew their historical significance
We are desperately looking for old pictures/photos or historical references to Oakland’s, Hubby Causeway Bow called Church street because of St Thomas’s Church, graveyard and School
Can anyone help
More than happy to pay for copies of old documents to be copied and posted to us
I don’t normally do this sort of thing but we desperately need your help
Hope to hear from you soon
David
