The 'Admiral Lord Rodney'
This pub has seen it all. Now isolated, it was until the 1930s surrounded by the small houses and factories of Colne's Waterside area, notorious for bad housing and most of the other evils that this usually generates. In the mid-19th century the pub was a hot-bed of Chartism, so much so that a secret Government informer was infiltrated as a barman. If there had ever been an English Revolution, it might well have started here.

Waterside Bridge, Colne, Lancashire
The ancient Lancashire town of Colne is built on high ground between two valleys, which run roughly east to west, about a mile apart. The southerly valley is that of Colne Water, which is seen here passing under Waterside Bridge. Spring Gardens Mill is seen in the distance.
A site visitor adds:
I believe Spring Gardens Mill was on the left of the picture (beyond where the white cones are) and the Mill in the distance is Haslems Mill. We used to climb up the inside of the tower of Haslems and play on the roof in our early teens. My Grandparents used to live on Spring Garden St.
