Looking east, towards the town centre, and showing the substantial tree growth oh the right where old property has been demolished.

On the right is a second-hand shop which, in 2007, is no longer trading - probably put out of business by the many charity shops in the town.

Here we are standing at the western end of Walmsgate. The road going up to the left is Cavendish Street, while the short street off it to its right is Queen Street. The main road continues to the right as Westgate, leading to Colne Road.

This steep street has recently acquired some new houses near the top.

Looking west. The fact that old street names end in '-gate', and the ending '-wick' in the name of the town itself, testify to Barnoldswick having been part of the Danelaw: hence it should be regarded as part of Yorkshire, in spite of having been placed administratively under Lancashire County Council in 1974.

There is a gap in the sequence of even numbered houses along here. Possibly the missing numbers were cellar-dwellings?

Looking southwest. The Independent Methodist Chapel is seen, middle distance on the left.

Looking along Walmsgate past the Methodist church.

This shows the road junction at the south-western end of Church Street. The road round to the left becomes Manchester Road at this point, and until the 1930s when the B6383 was constructed, it was the main route into Lancashire. The two white semi-detached stone roofed cottages are in fact Nos. 1 and 3, Manchester Road. The much smaller road down to the right is Walmsgate, with the Independent Methodist church about fifty yards further on. The two cottages next to the shop are Nos 36 and 34, Church Street.
