General notes

A shop at Hyndburn Bridge, Clayton le Moors in the early 20th century.

A note with the original photo suggests that the lady could possibly be Ann Haworth. In the 1881 census, no's 7 and 8 Hyndburn Bridge are bracketed together, with no. 7 being the grocer's shop. Edward Haworth, farmer, is the head of the household. No occupation is given for his wife. However, in the 1891 census at 7, Hyndburn Bridge Edward Haworth is described as farmer and grocer and Ann Haworth as grocer. Edward died in 1893 and Ann married John Rawcliffe in 1898. He died in 1900. Ann continued to live at Hyndburn Bridge until her own death in 1930. In the 1901, 1911 and 1921 censuses she is described as 'living on private means'. Oddly enough she is registered as Ann Haworth, not Ann Rawcliffe, in the civil registration death records, the Altham burial register and on the gravestone. Perhaps her family did not approve of her second marriage?

It appears that the grocer's shop was a Haworth family business, since Edward's father, James, is in the 1861 census as farmer and grocer at Hyndburn Bridge. There is a line in 'A history of the township and manor of Clayton-le-Moors' by Richard Trappes-Lomax (1926), which says that the block of four cottages appears to have been built on land sold by John or Charles Brookbank of Sparth early in the 19th century.
