HUNCOAT HISTORY
(A chronological list of significant events)
Last up-dated September 2011
photo of Old Hall Farm
Old Hall Farm once stood on the bend in Highergate Road
Huncoat is a small village near Accrington
situated on the slopes of the Pennine hills
below the 1,340 feet high Great Hameldon
The list comprises of three separate sections
Section One : Pre 1900
Section Two : Post 1900
Section Three : Miscellaneous Facts

Please note that these lists are not intended to be a comprehensive or definite history
but merely a collection of facts I have drawn from various sources to provide an overview.
They amount to all the information I currently have about the history of Huncoat.
Therefore please do not ask me to answer any questions of greater detail or in particularly, assist with ancestoral research.
However, more information might be found in the following books and records;
copies of which are stored in the local studies section of Accrington Library.
