Mossley Street, Colne - old stone street sign
Mossley Street, Colne - old stone street sign
This sign is on the end wall of 110 Keighley Road, Colne. It used to be completely obscured by ivy but a recent owner of the property had the ivy removed and behold! the "street" has a name! It's no more than a side turning leading to the block's back street, so why was it given a name? It doesn't appear in Colne's street directory, nor is it named on any map. The sign is presumably as old as the houses (numbers 110, 112 & 114) which were built in the 1890s.
