Marking the boundary between Burnley and Cliviger, but why Brunshaw? Frederic A Youngs gives the answer in his monumental 'Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England'. It was a civil parish created in 1894 from the part of Burnley civil parish not in Burnley County Borough. Abolished 1911, part to Burnley County Borough and part to Cliviger CP. Its short life missed most OS maps, but it is shown on the one-inch map of 1895, Sheet 76, Rossendale. This has been reprinted by Alan Godfrey Maps. Brunshaw had a tiny area, not really viable as a civil parish, between Towneley Hall Park and Red Lees Road.
