Priestley Clough
Hi, wonder how many of you went for "Sunday Walks" up Priestley Clough. Starting by going along Nuttall Street, around the corner onto Bath street, then "through the clough". A Mr John Priestley came to Accrington from Rawtenstall in 1849 and developed a cotton mill here. (His name is over one of the windows in the tower of St James Church in Accrington).
The Highams family succeeded the Priestley's at Woodnook.
