Horncliffe Rawtenstall
« on: Sunday 05 October 08 20:23 BST (UK) »
can anyone tell me if Horncliffe is a name of a house in Rawtenstall or the name of an area? my grandmother was there circa 1909-1911 working as a maid and sent post cards back to the family with the address Horncliffe Rawtenstall and on one Oakley Manse?

Ger.

It is an Area!

Put 'Horncliffe, Rawtenstall, Lancashire' in a Google search & it comes up with a Map showing Where about it is!

Also, it mentions a 'Horncliffe Mansions'!

Hi
Horncliffe was a large house on the side opf the A56 between Rawtenstall and Edenfield. It was at one time an old peoples home. I think it has been demolished. There is a photo in JohnSimpson's book 'A history of Edenfield and District'.

hi horncliffe is a huge old mansion,  it became a home for the elderly, then it was a venue for weddings, the new owner hopes to turn it back into a normal house for his family, it is a lovely building

found out now from the 1911 census that the family who lived there at the time were Rawlinsons. Does anyone know anything about them? My gran Kate Griffith was there as a servant on the census and her sister. The Rawlinsons had 3 children at the time Neville,Ida and Uzita.
