If you go on this site look for this directory under Lancashire and Burnley. Page 314 on has a great section on Briercliffe with some really interesting information from 1896.

General & Commercial Directory of Burnley, Nelson ..., 1896 Lancashire

This is brilliant David.

The Sutcliffe Sutcliffe watchmaker (in bold on the page) was my Gt Gt Grandmothers brother. He is buried at St Thomas in Barrowford. Haven't yet looked closely at any of the others.
