Thanks very much, I have seen that photograph. I saw it on the Lancashire Lantern site.
It's taken from in front of the Methodist Chapel on Nab Lane, looking towards the cottages, just next to where the now demolished Noel's pickle factory stood.
Hargreaves lived in what's now the old post office, and where he's thought to have invented his Spinning Jenny.

I remember it as where I used to buy my sweets, off a nice lady called Doreen.
Great photo Wadey
Does anyone know exactly where the Old Tower, was at Peel Fold, and when it must have been demolished?
I know the area fairly well, but from the photograph, can't work out where it's location was.

The only other information states...'This was a land mark for many years but was of no significance other than it was built by Roger Baron of Cabin End who died in 1820.'
