Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

I think Mel will be able to help me with this one. I was reading an entry in the forum and mention was made of the poor rate book for Briercliffe with Extwistle. Where can this be viewed? Is it possible to get a copy?I am sure most of my ancestors will be in it.

It's at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. I think there is more than one book as the one I viewed was quite small and I don't think it covered many years.

I think you are allowed to have copies from it or possibly use your own camera (use of cameras depends on the documents and does not apply to all documents held at the LRO).

They can be contacted using the folowing form http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/education/ ... t/form.asp

It's also possible that you might find reference to what you are interested in within Lancat, their online catalogue.
