Just bought all 3 volumes of The History of Burnley by Walter Bennett from the Central Library in Burnley. part 1 and 2 is a hardback copy £8.00 part 3 and part 4 are paperback copies £6-00 each all in all very good value in my opinion. They will keep me out of mischief for a couple of weeks

They are interesting David. Walter Bennett hails from Staffordshire. Another of his that I have is 'The History of Marsden and Nelson'. Thats harder to get hold of. The Burnley books have been reprinted by Burnley Historical Society, I believe. |

In addition to the History of Burnley,Walter Bennett published histories of Burnley Grammar School,Marsden and Nelson,a book on the Lancashire Witches and an edition of the Churchwardens' Accounts of St Peter's Church. |
