Latest news is that permission has been granted to turn the Phoenix Pub into Flats.

It was featured in Pilks News as shown below

Now available on British Newspaper Archive  

Is it right that College Street used to be called Cottage Street and, if so, does anybody know when and why it was changed?

Thought this site could be of interest, google     List of old English Occupations and descriptions

Findmypast is free for this dataset until 12th November 

Came across the above site through Google.  Interesting especially if one has a relative who may have been an estate worker etc.  Not all houses have images but there is a good selection, plus of course someone may have a postcard or pic which could be useful to the site.

I take it this was at the Beechams end where the Brook was right? Do we have any images? One of my lot was chucked in there for working in a strike, he was a manager/foreman though so.....scally who did it got fined 40/- though so probably went to prison.
