General notes

In 1886 Tattersall discovered some pre-historic urns at Hell Clough, Extwistle, and, as a result of his findings, became something of a celebrity not only locally but further afield. When a prosperous member of the Tattersall family visited the area, Tattersall Wilkinson met him and the result was the book “Memories of Hurstwood”, published in 1889.

Throughout the 1880s and 1890s Tattersall contributed numerous articles to the local press and his writings resulted in much correspondence in both the Burnley Express and its great rival, the Burnley Gazette.
