Does anyone know of a photo of this building? Perhaps the old PO is a thing of the past as my Littlefair person is from the 1861-1891 period. Many thanks, Gloria :-) |

So maybe someone who lives near can pop on by. Welcome to POE thuogh. Where abouts in Candada are you? I lived in Ontario for a while many moons ago.

My husband & I (plus an elderly dog, Maggie) live on the West Coast in Vancouver, B.C. My passion in life right now, besides the garden is the endless hobby of geneology - this led me to this site & all the wonderful photos and to the village of Barnoldswick. I have travelled through researching my various family members all over Lancashire, Derbyshire, Cornwall, Wales, London & now Yorkshire. It's great fun & very educational also. Nice to have a photo which ties in with a family.....cheers as today the sun is shining, Gloria :-) |

I did put it in a my search engine looking for images and there seems to be quite a few of the town square - don't know if any show the post office. My sister has done family history research for over 20 years now - it is fascinating but a never ending job! Good luck with it. |

But hey, why not tell us a little bit about yourself in 'User Introduction' for a real new POE member welcome. Either way, enjoy your browsing of this great website and forum. |

My sister and I drove to Nova Scotia a few years back to see The Royal Nova Scotia International Military Tattoo. It was very impressive. |
