There's the Pendle Way bus route these days. I wonder if there was an equivalent back then? One never knows.

i mean, its not impossible they had a car, or somebody had a bus running

 

it was definitely a different age

 

RIP

It is mad when you see how far people came from back then.

Such a shame

RIP to them all

RIP to our lost fans.

 

Thank goodness my dad decided to go on home when his bus from Manchester (home on leave) got to Burnden and he saw the crowds.

 

PS : The train line ran up from Colne through Earby back then - not far from Barnoldswick.
