UpFlatts

[busybees]

Does anybody know where the Upflatts area of Barnoldswick was? I am doing some family history research and my family are listed as living there on the 1861 census.
Thank you

You will find it on the 1852 ordnance survey map on Brogden Lane between Aynhams and Lidget Flat. No longer there.

BB! Nice to see you took my advice. That's the one, Brogden. 1853 1st Ed OS shows 'Up Flat' 200 yards west of Aynhams on Brogden Lane. 1892 1st Ed of the 25" OS map shows Up Flat and Up Flat Well in the field behind, also a bench mark on the opposite side of the lane 493.6 ft above sea level. Greenwood's 1818 map shows the same building marked as 'Flat'. The 1956 6" OS shows the well as Up Flat Well but the building is not named.
1851 census reports Henry Clark, 32, stone mason's labourer. Sarah 29. John 6 and Mary 2 years. Same census reports John Dowding, 34, shoemaker (journey man). Wife Ellen 29, hand loom weaver cotton and son William, 4 years. Two cottages in same building?

Thank you everyone for all the information, Henry Clark is my ancestor. My partner and I are Barlickers born and bred and neither of us had heard of Upflatts.

Nice to see your partner posting as well on cooking. You are a lucky bloke but I note that you share the cooking. I have no other reference to Henry but knowing the capacity of the site for dragging up snippets of information don't be surprised if our resident genealogy hounds come up with more. Interesting that he was in the building trade, it was a good time to be in that occupation in Barlick. The building boom was starting and didn't end till 1914.
