Looking west. The fact that old street names end in '-gate', and the ending '-wick' in the name of the town itself, testify to Barnoldswick having been part of the Danelaw: hence it should be regarded as part of Yorkshire, in spite of having been placed administratively under Lancashire County Council in 1974.
