Overlooking Colne Water
The small Colne Water forms a deep Pennine valley.In the distance the plateau like horizon indicates the almost horizontal bedding of the mill stone grit in this part of east Lancashire. The stream was one of the reasons for the growth of Colne as a cotton textile town and provided good supplies of water to the fine weaving mills along its banks. The field bank on the left is supported by hefty buttresses which would have been produced from one of the many local quarries. The Pennines in the distance are farmed in small units with mainly sheep and cattle.

Wood Street, Colne - 1984
This steep terrace was earlier surrounded by many other houses, but these had all gone by 1984. Looking at Google Earth, the terrace still seems to be there in 2009.

Disused building by Colne Water
On the north side of Colne Water and east of Waterside Bridge a large fellmongery was once situated. Such establishments were no place for the squeamish. This semi-derelict building may have been part of it.
