The shop in the foreground is just across the far side of Colne Water, on the corner of Knotts Lane. The terraces catching the early morning sun are in Hawley Street and Khyber Street, while some expensive detached properties have recently been built behind, on the edge of the moor. Colne is a very ancient town, but now in the 21st century, it's a lively place with strong support for the arts, very little 'yobbish' behaviour, and with open countryside never far away.
