New village Store
The Village Store premises on Holcombe Road was formerly the home of the Helmshore Co-operative Society. The building was constructed in 1906 and opened for business in February 1907.The Society merged with Haslingden in 1931 and closed in the 1960's.These days the site provides most items that the village residents may require; newspapers, general goods, an off licence and even a cosy café.  The store is run by Steve Lee and partner Ann Rutter,who took over the business 5 years ago. Sunday roast is available..  Well worth a visit!

 

Cottages 90 years passed

 

Little has outwardly changed in the 90+ years between photographs of the terraced cottages on Holcombe Road.

Beside the extra foliage and TV aerials the only difference is the amount of traffic passing these days!
