It isn't a fully published book, just a 30 odd page spiral bound document I published myself and print as needed called 'Top o' th' Lane, Brindle, The workhouse and the weavers'.  There are copies in Chorley library (part of Lancashire County Council) who may be able to do it on inter library loan.  I think I have a pdf electronic version of it but it may be too big a file to attach here.  I'll have a word with my tech expert (daughter!) or I could print one off, but would have to charge for this as it uses quite a lot of ink and time (£6 or so last time I did it plus postage).  Let me know if you want me to do anything,

Hi, in response to your query about Brindle workhouse.
I did most of my research on the workhouse some time ago - my interest is local history rather than family history, and I've written the workhouse and cottages story up in a short booklet/book (about x30 pages).  There were lots of Ridings at Top o' th' Lane (I used them as an example in the book)  Don't recall a Holdings but as a yeoman, it's quite likely Holdings would have been an overseer, on the board of guardians of the poor or even a master at the workhouse.
Now the bad news - Brindle workhouse was a pretty dire place, even by workhouse standards.  Despite being run by the parish, it took the hard cases from all over Lancs. that the other parishes couldn't cope with.  There were at least x2 deaths that made the national press and attempts were made to close it down due to poor conditions.  Didn't actually close until 1872 after 150 years operating.  brief history at http://brindleworkhouse.co.uk/  You may also want to look at 1841 censuses and newspaper searches.  Can't identify people without some dates.  Plaque photo attached.  Where are you - local?
