Info

Building Control RecordsBurnley Borough Council has retained a large number of original building control records(BCRs) for the Padiham Area. Information on these records includes the name of the individualseeking permission to build and the date of approval, the original drawings of the building/s,their siting and original use. This information has been used throughout the appraisal in orderto date properties, to understand how a building has been used and provide evidence of wherechange has occurred over time. References to individual BCR file numbers are supplied withinthe text.Cartographic EvidenceSome of the earliest cartographic information available for the area can be found on Yatescounty map of 1786. However, due to the scale of the map, the only information that canbe obtained is the town’s position in relation to other towns and villages of the time. The 1stedition Ordnance Survey (OS) map of 1844 has been extremely useful in understanding thedevelopment of the pre-industrial Padiham and has been referred to throughout the appraisal.Unfortunately Burnley Borough Council does not appear to have retained any of the original19th century estate plans of the Padiham area. Later editions of OS maps produced in 1890,1910, 1930 and an up to date OS map have also been used to understand the development ofthe town.List of MapsYates Map of Lancashire 1786 (www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/oldmaps)Hennet’s Map 1829 (www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/oldmaps)Ordnance Survey 1844Ordnance Survey 1890Ordnance Survey 1892 (Town Centre Padiham)Ordnance Survey 1910Ordnance Survey 1930PhotographsThe historic photographs contained within the Heritage Appraisal have been provided byLancashire County Library and Information Service (Burnley and Padiham libraries).
