Further up Walmsgate in about 1890. You can see these weaver's cottages in the background of the previous picture.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
There are some fantastic hidden corners photos going up on the Barlick photo site put up on Facebook by Gus. Particularly ones showing various bits of the town during demolition and remodelling exercises throughout the years. It's generating a lot of interest and from quite a few younger folk as well who are indirectly learning about the nooks and crannies of the town. I might put a sub-forum section up on here linking to it, its a very good archive.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
Lucy has banned me from getting onto the facebook site using her profile, so I will have to do the facebook thingy if I want to look at the old Barlick pics.
I like Gus's forgotten corner in the title of the page, which misses out the 's' in Barnoldswick.

Do you need to register? We saw the pics on the link that was published the other day.
PS. If Gus is reading this, feel free to copy any of the pics I have posted if you haven't got them.

Revealing my ignorance of facebook, I don't know; I couldn't get on after Lucy logged herself out of facebook on my PC.Stanley wrote:Do you need to register?
A friend showed my a great pic of Bank House on the site. It had two of our hen huts in the foreground.
Thinking of the milk stand, we used to use old milk kits for carting water to the scattered hen huts.
As a lad, and probably shorter than the kits themselves, I remember that the steel ones were arm strainingly heavy to roll around. We must have had some ally ones as well, which were easier to handle (but still a handful when full).
In my teens, I worked at West Marton Dairy as a holiday job during the summer. I became reaquianted with milk kits when they put me on the can wash. The job was to put kits upside down onto a rotating carousel and take them off after they'd been blasted with steam to clean them.
I've still got the scar on my left arm from the unlagged steam pipe immediately next to the take off point...

Stop whingeing! It was a man's job!
An empty galvanised 12 gallon kit weighed 48lbs. Full, 168lbs, exactly what I weighed in those days.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
If I had a pound for every one of these I lifted I would be a very wealthy man! About 250 a day at 168lbs each and then 9 tons of bottles on top. we were as fit as butcher's dogs and that's why I have had a bad back all my life. They say hard work doesn't kill, maybe not but it makes you a queer shape... Just thought the other day when I was listening to someone describing how hard they worked, I wonder what the modern day attitude would be to leaving blood all round the steering wheel because of cracks on your hands opening up after handling 9 tons of crates full and 4 1/2 tons of empties? Happened every day as I came away from Keighley depot.... I look at my hands now and marvel at what punishment they can take, not a sign of the old war wounds!

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
The can dock at West Marton where milk from the farms was tipped and pumped into the system. David will recognise this, it's where he did his stint on the can washer. As the cans were tipped they were cleaned and sterilised and stacked on the dock at the back ready for being used again. A lot of good useful work done here and it has always puzzled me why a milk receiving dairy in a dairy farming region wasn't viable. Another example of 'market forces' militating against good sense.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
JEH28 parked in the bottle dock at West Marton about 1965. It's loaded up with milk for the following morning. This tanker was a godsend to us as it gave us a gallon of raw milk a day. I used to deliver at bottling dairies all over the North of England and South Scotland in time for them to pateurise the milk and bottle it for delivery that day. Lovely job and I enjoyed doing it.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
The stone built shelter on Station Road replaced an awful one which no self respecting person wanted to use (and using the term 'shelter' to refer to it, an oxymoron). Originally, the stone shelter had windows in the walls, but these suffered with vandalism. If we'd had Banksy in Barlick, the rendered walls inside would have been a joy. Sadly, our own graffiti artists failed to rise to the moment.
Before the stone shelter and the more recent lay-by on Fernlea Avenue for the buses (to the right of the shelter pictured), the Skipton bound buses stopped outside the Con Club (Station Road had two way traffic). The best shelter was under the doorway and architectural features jutting out from the building. The conflict between Skipton and Burnley buses at the junction of Station Road and Skipton Road was wonderful as well.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
TV last night was almost a forgotten corner. I watched the repeat of the programme 'How to Build a Jumbo Jet engine' and there was Jack Batley with his dog in the Town Square.... I still expect to see him on our morning walk, on his way to One Stop for his paper.
I think I may have posted this before but well worth another look. Before 1950 because the mullions are still in Hey Farm and St James' church is standing. Click to enlarge.

Yes.
Bits of it were used in the refurbishment of the path alongside the beck. Still some bits lying in the beck.
