The Padiham Heritage Appraisal - Burnley Borough Council

Green Terrace c.1905. 67-107 Hapton Road haveyet to be built (Lancashire Library photograph).7.3.3 The 1871 Census recorded nine households at Riley Street(1-9 St. Anne’s Street), in properties owned by John Webster. Todaythese properties still retain their stone guttering and have short frontgardens and a rhythmic door window arrangement. In 1878 MrsSagar applied to the Padiham and Hapton Local Board to build 9additional properties at 11-27 Riley Street (BCR 55007). Althoughthese properties look very similar to 1-9, they have wooden guttersrather than stone ones and a slightly higher roofline. Numbers 29-65St. Anne’s Street appear to have been built later at the turn of the20th century and all have large bay windows to the ground floor,a window-door-door-window arrangement and short front gardens(Plans C & D).7.3.4 2-24 Hapton Road (formerly Green Lane) and 1-3 GreenStreet, once known as Green Terrace, were situated within theHapton Township during the 1860s (1871 Census). Constructedfrom stone with stone gutters and a slate roof, the block has singlewindows, at both the ground and first floors, which are encasedwithin simple arched moulded surrounds. A short garden leads toeach front door which is set beneath a hood and drip mould anda fanlight. Other than 41-65 (built between 1880/90) the remainingterraces on Hapton Road were constructed between 1900 and1909 (Plan C & D). Although there is some variation in the design ofindividual blocks they all have similar features, such as short frontgardens, and large bay windows to the ground floor. The variationsin design include the use of continuous roofs that extend over thefront doors and the bays, and the window/door arrangements. Theuse of such roofs appears to be a typical design feature of thisperiod.7.3.5 Improvements to Green Lane to aid the approach to thenew railway station in the 1870s probably stimulated additionalresidential development in Area 5. Messrs John Thompson and Sonconstructed 23-43 Green Lane and 1 Hapton Road between 1875and 1877 and 2-34 Hill Street between 1877/1878 (BCRs 54394,54395, 54579 & 54580). Hill Street, known as Green Hill Street inthe 1870s, slopes steeply down into Thompson Street. The terracedproperties were built in several phases to a very simple two-up-twodowndesign.View of Green Terrace, Hapton Road April 2006.1-9 St. Anne’s Street29-65 St. Anne’s StreetThe backstreets at Field Street, Green Street andCotton Street have retained their cobbled surfaces.A property with a continuous roof above the windowand doorheritage appraisal 71
