Post subject: | Trade Directories covering Brierfield area |
Does anyone have access to Trade Directories which might cover the above circa 1920s please. I was told that Thomas Ingham of Disraeli St. Burnley (which I think may have been Brierfield) owned or worked a small pit in the 1920s. I do have a photograph of my grandfather Louis Walker with a crowd of who I take to be workers also at the pithead. I would be grateful for more information on this please if possible. Tom Ingham was my grandfather's step-father. Thank you butlerclan |

Disraeli St runs from Colne Rd through to Barden Lane in the Queengate area of Burnley. There would have been quite a lot of pits in that area----Barden Lane, Bank Hall, to name the large ones. |

Unfortunately Colne library does not hold copies of the Burnley Barrett trade directory for this period. However, I've been told that the Nelson library holds all the copies on microfiche. I assume that Burnley will have hard copies I hope this helps. |

Burnley library has three Barrett's directories over this period. 1914. 1923. 1927. The 1914 does not record a Disraeli St. I assume it hasn't been built. The 1923 has Thos Ingham 62 Disraeli St. (no occupation listed). There are no T Ingham's listed in the trade section. The 1927 has a A Wood at 62 Disraeli St. (occ: weaver) Disraeli St is just an ordinary street full of ordinary people,try Google maps. |
