Ding Dong Bell!

This is a blip of the Cloth Hall Belfry that is in Colne, Lancashire.

The Cloth Hall was built on land donated by the Walton family of Marsden Hall in 1775. It was demolished by Colne Town Council in 1955. The Cloth Hall was considered the second finest in England after the famous Piece Hall in Halifax. Originally it was built for the wollen industry to trade pieces of cloth but this was soon replaced by the growing cotton weaving industry.

It is a shame that the Belfry is the only piece of it that is left but it is in the same area that the Cloth Hall stood.

Me and Ted share information of what we know of our area and we learn so much from other blippers about theirs.
