THE newly opened Stream and Steam trail in Barnoldswick charts the history of the town.

The trail takes around an hour, starting in the car park at Letcliffe Park and ending in Victory Park, near the Rolls- Royce factories.

Information boards are in place along the way to tell people about each site.

Over the past four years, £600,000 has been spent repairing historically important buildings, upgrading paths and planting trees along the trail.

Funding for the work came from Pendle Council, English Heritage, Lancashire Economic Partnership and the owners of some of the buildings on the route.

Free trail guides are available from Barnoldswick Tourist Information Centre.
