Sorry Taddy, there did not have the books you are looking for at Pendle Village. Might be an idea to keep an eye out in local charity shops as sometimes folk send stuff there when they clear relatives belongings out.Worth a try. Good luck. I will keep looking for you too.

Many thanks for looking, stay happy as always, , your's Taddy

I am also looking for another book entitled "Huncoat Revisited" by Jim Ashton, published in 2000. Jim was an old aquaintaince and one time domino player/partner of mine.

Any clues as to where I can obtain the above books or any other literature, photo's etc about Huncoat or the surrouding area, would be very much appreciated.

Stay happy as alway's, yours Taddy

Yippee, I have just taken delivery of a book that I have been searching for since Mathusala,(think thats spelt right),was a babby.
The book Huncoat Remembered by John Smith as stated above.

I now only need Huncoat Revisited by Jimmy Ashton, (an old friend of mine)
now sadly no longer with us.

If anyone can point me in the right direction in obtaining a copy I would be a happy chappy.

Your's Taddy.

John Smiths "Huncoat Remembered", was a collection of articles published in the Accrington Observer in 1906 and was put into book form in 1985 to commemorate the 900th anniversary of Huncoat being mentioned in the Doomsday Survey, one of only four places in north east Lancs to have that distinction.
The same John Smith also published "A History of the Huncoat Baptist Church",
in 1909.
If you know where I can pick up a copy of the second mentioned book without spending silly money, then I would be interested.
Your's, Taddy.
