The Padiham Heritage Appraisal - Burnley Borough Council

is located within a block of purpose built shops and dates back toc.1960s. Although the block is fully occupied it fails to adequatelyintegrate with the character of Area 1 (Plan F). This is due to itsdesign, siting, and materials.3.5.16 In addition to the existing public houses are a number ofbuildings once occupied by beerhouses. Although no longer in usea number of premises can still be identified within the current streetscene. Their retention helps in understanding the previous use ofbuildings and commercial make up of the area. Such beerhousesinclude the former Joiners Arms, Oddfellows Arms, Crown Hotel,Cross Hill Inn/Tavern and Partridge Inn.3.5.17 The Joiners Arms was formerly located at 19-21 Moor Laneand sits within a block of locally listed buildings (Plan A). Its use asa beerhouse probably dates back to 1868 when William Wade wasthe licensee (Mannex, 1868,p.823). Today the large windows onthe ground floor give a suggestion of the original beerhouse streetfrontage.3.5.18 The Crown Hotel and the Oddfellows Arms were positionedclosely together on Bank Street. The Oddfellows Arms was oncesituated within the Oddfellows Hall at 2 Bank Street/8 OddfellowsBuildings from at least 1872 (Worrell, 1872, p.192). The CrownHotel formerly at 8 Bank Street was under the licence of Heys inc.1879 (Barrett, 1879, p.183). Although 6-8 Bank Street has nowbeen converted into a cabinetmaker’s workshop, evidence that partof the building was used as a beerhouse remains in the windowopenings and stone fascia.3.5.19 In 1868 Elijah Bridge was recorded as being the licenseeof a beerhouse in Bank Street (Mannex, 1868, p.823) and, in 1872,at Cross Hill (Worrell, 1872, p.192). By 1879 Cross Hill Tavern wasrecorded as a beerhouse in Barrett’s directory at 1 Bank Street(Barrett, 1879,183). Cross Hill c.1845, was the old name given tothis part of Padiham. The Cross Hill Tavern no longer operates, butits neighbouring property at 28 Church Street (formerly known asCross Hill on the OS 1892 map) has been converted to form theTrevelyan Guest House. This has been listed as a grade II building(Plan A).Former Joiners Arms, Moor LaneFormer Crown Hotel, Bank StreetThe Trevelyan Tavern and former Cross Hill Tavern3.5.20 The Partridge Inn, formerly located at 26 Alma Street,is perhaps the least obvious beerhouse to detect from the street.Having been established during the 1870s it is easier to locate onthe OS 1890 map (Worrell, 1872, p.192 & Barrett, 1879, p.183 &Plan C). Here it is shown as incorporating 26 and 28 Alma Street.Today little evidence remains of its former use on its Alma Streetelevation. It is quite likely that the Partridge Inn ceased to functionby c.1911 when it was converted into 2 residential properties (PlanD).Location of the former Partridge Innheritage appraisal 23
