Wapping (Barnoldswick): what to know before moving day
Several of Barnoldswick's listed buildings stand here: 16 to 26 Town Head, a terrace of six stone cottages of 1829, Old Chapel House, a mid to late 18th-century chapel later turned to other uses, 13 and 15 King Street, built as one house in 1714, and the Independent Methodist Church of 1892. In a cottage of that age, measure the stairs and send a photo before booking in a large bed or sofa.
Church Street and Manchester Road carry the B6251 through the area, and OpenStreetMap names Walmsgate, Butts, Jepp Hill, Westgate, Brook Street and Bethesda Street close by, with Clough Park, Stock Beck and the Brook Street car park. The Cross Keys pub, once run by the Burnley goalkeeper Adam Blacklaw, is also here.
