Pointing and repointing in Darwen
Darwen's terraces — Sudell, Bolton Road, the streets under the tower — are stone, in lime, and Hoddlesden, Eccleshill and Tockholes on the hills around it are stone cottages older still. Cement repointing has been put on most of them at some point and the stone is paying for it now: blown faces, damp behind, pointing that looks fine and isn't.
Lime, hand-raked, is the answer and it's most of what we do here. The India Mill side and the streets facing the moor are exposed and chimneys go first. There is some Accrington brick in the later streets. About thirty-five minutes from Rochdale.
