Windows and doors fitted across Colne

Colne splits into two kinds of street and the difference matters. There are the late Victorian and Edwardian terraces built when people moved out from the centre, which are generous, often bayed, and worth doing properly. Then there is the older mill workers' housing on streets like Mabel and Grosvenor, smaller, setted, with the service road running along the back. Four conservation areas cover parts of the town, including Albert Road and Primet Bridge. A bay on one of the big Edwardian fronts is a different quote entirely to a two up two down, and we will say which you have got.
