I don't see why not Kev. If you change the image then the resulting work belongs to you, and I love then and now photos!

It'll get me out of the house and test my powers of observation.

I'll find it more interesting than trawling through websites looking for the history of my house

You could commission me to the boring job!!
Re: Bonny Colne
I think I have found the location of the little boy when this image was taken.
He's sat at the start of the footpath shown on the map and the large gable end seen in the Image is the start of Short Street (which is still standing)
I've marked the section of the map to show what I think is the line of view.

Re: Bonny Colne
Colne bell ringers circa 1895.
L to R. Robert Foulds, W. Lord, H. Frankland, Roger Binns, Abraham Lane and William Heaton.
At this time Colne had 6 bells made by Mears of London in 1814. They were sent by sea from London to Hull and then delivered to Colne on the Leeds and Liverpool canal.

I don't know if this web site has been mentioned on OG before. Mrs Tiz has been exploring it and set me off too...

Aerial view taken in 1929.
The Arcade is clearly visible as is the Methodist Chapel, Town Hall and the Theatre Royal.
Turney Crook "just" sneaks in at the top of the image too.
Sadly many of the buildings shown are now long gone.

Re: Bonny Colne
I'm struggling to get my bearings! Think I've spotted Stanley House where the vet's are....
Re: Bonny Colne
The bowling green is visible in the top left hand corner.
You'll be able to make your way to the Theatre Royal and Turney Crook from there if you compare it to the map, I think.

Knotts Lane brickworks, 1920's
The brickworks commenced about 1890 when Samuel Catlow and Sons were in business. Samuel lived at 73 Knotts Lane.
It closed in the early 1940's due to war time lighting restrictions.

I wonder if they used local coal to fire the kilns?

Re: Bonny Colne
I can see the building that used to be the Sefton Club on the corner of Shed Street and Knotts Lane. I think it was a Co op building originally. I worked there for a few years when the Open Door Furniture Recycling Scheme was based there.
Re: Bonny Colne
I remember there being a shop on the corner of Knotts Lane called Sanrock (that may have only been a local name for it)
At one time it was run by the family of an old work mate of me and my wife called Paul Cross.
Years later I worked with Paul at Haas Automation in California.

Re: Bonny Colne
Glad you qualified the bit about the Sefton club. Didn't Graham (Chinatyke) say he used to taxi the lady artistes to their next venue after their performance?
Not that I would think for one minute that this could apply to you.

I only went in the Sefton once when I was dragooned onto the Hole In the Wall darts team and lost miserably.....
