Exchange Street is a steep street that connects Colne's Waterside district, now largely demolished, with the Town Centre. Here the building on the right is the now-disused Zion Baptist chapel. The houses leading off to the left bear a plate reading 'Patten Street': The houses on Patten Street have their backs on Doughty Street, and vice-versa. The tower visible in the distance belongs to the Wesleyan Methodist Sunday School. Colne was once a proud Municipal Borough, but all that changed in 1974 when it was absorbed into the Borough of Pendle - a mish-mash of authorities from both Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire, largely administered from Nelson. I am indebted to James Hartley for this information.
