Lowerhouse Mile - Thanks
I would like to thank and acknowledge a number of people and organisations, who have made it possible for me to collect and collate
the content of this website so far. Without their efforts, publications, and archiving skills, it would have been just about impossible
for me to reach this stage of the project.

of the town centre in the 1970s/80s. Others are from an archive collection of images of Lowerhouse and the Padiham Road area.

Matthew Rochester
Matthew's passion was for photography, he photographed places, people and events in Burnley. At home he had his own darkroom where he developed the film/images
that he recorded. After his death in 2007 his collection was left largely untouched until a chance discussion with a member of Burnley Civic Trust revealed his
collection. A neighbour of Mrs. Rochester, a Civic Trust member, is cataloguing and digitising the collection to ensure that these important images are saved
for posterity and made available to view.

website via an online museum, which is sourced through, volunteers, supporters, club members, and ex players who provide it with all manner of documents,
photo's and old memoirs, that have often been in their loft for decades. To get in touch contact:– 'adam@lowerhousecc.com'
Newspapers, Public Archives & Records
A number of newspapers, local libraries, and public achives, were also used to research and authenticate much of the information collected, as far as it was
possible to do so.
