Articles Archive Article Author Little Harwood Gordon Hartley
Gordon Hartley, one of our active members, has recently visited Manchester Central Library to undertake some research. Whilst there he came across several references to Little Harwood, and so compiled the list below in the hope that it may be of use to anyone writing or studying about the area. It also strives to illustrate the point that many of the Libraries around the area may hold records that relate to Blackburn or some of the families that were prominent in our history. If anyone manages to come across relevant records of this type please send details in. It may be possible to arrange for copies or transcriptions to be made and deposited in the Library.
