"Donated by Mr. Baldwin, 2005"
Founded in 1865, Salvation Army dress became more standardised from around 1880 with both men and women wearing a navy blue serge uniform, men wore a high necked tunic with a stiff collar over a scarlet jersey, and a cap with a red band. Women wore long skirts and high neck tunics with a lace-edged collar, and bonnets as instigated by Catherine Booth, wife of the founder of the Army, General William Booth. The Salvation Army was established in Burnley in 1878, they had various premises over the years in different areas of Burnley, in 1890 they were listed as having premises in Travis Street, but principally in Ashworth Street, in the Fulledge area of Burnley where in December of 1882 they had opened their new extended barracks. At that time they were led by Captain William Cole and his wife Ann. However, the people, location and date of the image are uncertain. The geographic location given is for the Ashworth Street Barracks, the Army's home in Fulledge, Burnley until they moved in 1970s to the current Citadel in near-by Richard Street when the area was demolished for redevelopment.
