This is part of a 1" to 1 mile map revised in 1920 with minor revisions to 1930. The map is printed on linen-backed paper and Burnley is unfortunately at the junction of two folds. Since 1844 the town has developed considerably to the north, with the area round Duke Bar, Briercliffe Road and Casterton Avenue now well developed. To the south, Scott Park appears, but there is no development around Coal Clough Lane, Bleak House, Rossendale Road, Rosehill or Rosegrove. In the town centre the canal has failed to constrain expansion and the start of the Fulledge area can be seen. |
The
road pattern is clearly recognisable, together with the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway branch serving Accrington, Burnley, Nelson and Colne.
There were many more stations in 1930, and the stations at Towneley, Burnley
Wood and Barden Lane are long gone.To the east of Towneley and the road climbing
away from the Deer Park can be seen Ormerod House, the home of the
Ormerod Family, now sadly demolished.
