Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Whisky spinners of Haslingden Grane The history of this valley has many stories of moonshining with illicit distilling of whisky providing a welcome supplement to the income from the farm or the loom. The practice was so widespread that an excise officer was based in Haslingden from 1834-38.
One of the ruined farmhouses in Haslingden Grane was home to James Morris one of a whisky/spinning dynasty. In 1859 he was fined £230 with costs to avoid prison and the magistrate who handed out the sentence was Daniel Thwaite who became the brewing magnate of Blackburn. |
