Links between Settle and Accrington
And I won't stop googling ... and no way will you stop Margaret ... gawd ... might as well chuck her in the Hyndburn to be swept out to sea.
Is better fun walking around though (well, when it's not raining).

Is'nt she a spoil sport. she's even used some some of my database info on trades and where born, from the early census returns for Accrington.
I took this in 1984 for comparison.

Re: Puzzle Picture 2
I was just going to question all those folds Katex and Retlaw, cos I certainly havent heard off them, not that means owt, cos in this game "local history" you are learning ALL THE TIME! Would love to know where you found all that info though Katex?

You never will hear of them, because she made them up.
She only got two of them, the other names she put in her list are streets, she was just being daft with them, none of them are old or were even in existence in those days to have been a Fold.
Folds date back to the 17th & 18th century.

He is correct Atarah ... did make them up, however, he did state in an earlier post was going to put up more folds, so seemed to be the best place to start on street names around his area .. was lucky to hit on one. Started to google, lo and behold .. up popped Black Abbey Fold and that article.
Elementary my dear Watson, .. you just have to know how to manipulate the opposite sex ... and Retlaw is an easy target

Right Bluebell you've asked for itwhen you've answered puzzle 3, the next one you won't be able to goggle it. Thats cheating and being lazy, back when I was collecting all these pictures, the only computer available was a Z81, and my first calculator was from Sinclair build it yourself.

You never did say which source did you use for No1 Culvert St.[B][COLOR=#0000ff]
