From what I gather the residents of Burnley actually decided on it through a council questionnaire. They started charging in April 2006.

Should be all pay or no-one pays. People cant be treated according to where to something that others also visit. Would the cost being charged also included a percentage to cover those that live in Burnley so they can visit free? I would not entertain paying to enter a place if the locals had a privilidge over others. It seems like a milking of people. It has been mentioned that it isnt expensive but a family on a limited budget might not see it that way and they loose out.

Although it's not common I don't think it's unusual to have residents priveledge schemes. I think when I'm 65 I can go crown green bowling for free because I live in Hynburn but if I want to invite my Dad he would have to pay because he doesn't live here.

Families wouldn't lose out that much because admission is still free for children and students.

right dave, now tell me the truth....seen as you used to live in burnley, if you where visiting towneley hall would you give them your old address and postcode so you could get in for free?

I would imagine so, but I haven't been in Towneley Hall for at least 25 years and have no plans to go.
