General notes

Situated on the ancient highway from Padiham to Haslingden which existed in the 12th Century. This farm would be passed by John Wesley on his way to Haslingden in 1788. Probably the name of the farm has been derived from its close proximity to the Black Moss, an area of bog land and peat.
