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.

Terrace houses and moorland, Colne, Lancashire
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.

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 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.

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.
