    Fascinating...
    My grandparents and their forebears were from Burnley...my parents too. I was born at Bramley Meade.
    As kids, my brother and I were taken with family members, every Sunday, to the Congregationalist chapel in Burnley (since demolished) on, "I don't remember street", possibly Manchester Road (?). I have very strong memories of those days.
    Many names and locations in this slide show are very familiar to me, although many are now unrecognizable.
    I have been away for 50 years. It was a pleasure to have childhood memories invoked by this video :-)

    I think of this place as it use to a medieval town with a historic past. I've heard about this American Smith kin to the Townley's of Lancashire. I love looking into what use to be old Lancashire! Thanx for putting up these old photos! Oh, from the United State of America and Commonwealth of Virginia!

    Thanks for adding the photo of my Grandfather William Tarren and his best mate Wilf fishing at 0:40 (One pair of shoes).
    It’s one of the most evocative family photos in our collection.

      @@mariejoyce5150 That's nice. I saw the photos on FB over many months and saved them. Then I thought wouldn't it be great to share them more widely so made the slideshow. Pleased you like it. Ian (exepress because we now live on the Exe estuary in Exmouth, used to live in Burnley).

      exepress Love the old slideshows from photos , I have quite a few old family photos of my Burnley relatives the earliest ones are my Paternal 2x great grandfather Richard “Clocky Dick” Baldwin Born 1838 , my paternal 2x great grandmother Grace Ann Mahar born 1859 and lots of others from the late 1800s to the 1920s and 30s . If you are ever doing a slideshow on Burnley people give me a shout if you would like to use any of my photos . I’m currently the 3rd generation doing our family tree and I think it’s important to document the past for future generations. I was Burnley born and bred but have lived in Northamptonshire for the past 5 years.

    My grandfather used to tell me that we were related to the Towneleys of Burnley. And it was fun when the woman at the front desk at Towneley Hall had me sign the registry. But when I was doing geneological research at the Burnley library a librarian told me that we were NOT related to the Towneleys, at least not in England. That's where that story stands at the moment. Anyway, love these photos of Old Burnley.
