Colne Town Centre
Since 1972 this building has been used by the Providence Independent Methodists as their place of worship. It was originally built in 1869 for Nicholas England, a local cotton manufacturer. In 1907 it was converted and became a Carnegie Public Library. It typifies some of the fine buildings in Colne that show its cotton manufacturing background. To the left of this picture is a memorial to Wallace Henry Hartley who was born in Colne on 2nd June 1878. He was the bandmaster on the Titanic.

Jacob sheep at Colne
Jacob sheep are a cult breed. They can have four, or even six, horns, and produce fine coloured fleeces. I suspect this example was being kept as a pet.

Colne: Atkinson Street
Looking east. This short street has T-junctions at both ends: with Knotts Lane at the camera end; and with Hagg Street, at the far end. The sunlit houses are numbers 1 to 31, odd.

Colne: Footpath from the bottom of Short Street
This path is something of a mystery, for lthough obviously well-used and well-maintained, it does not appear on the official Lancashire County large-scale map. It comes out on Hagg Street near the western part of Atkinson Street.

Colne: 'Official' footpath from Hagg Street to Short Street.
This path, which is in fact the never-built middle section of Atkinson Street, is marked on the official Lancashire map, but is less convenient than the unofficial path Image because it reaches the top of Short Street rather than the bottom, thus further from the Town Centre. The houses visible in the photograph at the end of the terraces are: 14 Short Street; 13 Short Street; and 12, Daisy Street.

Colne: View down Hagg Street
At the bottom, Hagg Street forms a T-junction with Green Road. In this photograph, the building on the left, which is No 32 Atkinson Street, is of interest, as there are very few brick-built buildings in the town.
