Broadclough history
A Danish chieftain was killed in a battle between the Danes and Saxons. His grave is said to be at a farm near Stubbylee, which is located around 1 1/2 miles south of Broadclough. The Goidelic Celts occupied the area and wolves were encountered in the hills as late as the 13th century.
Broadclough Dykes
Broadclough Dykes has been argued to be the most important archaeological site in the East Lancashire area. It has been claimed that in the 10th century, the Anglo-Saxons battled against Gaels and Norsemen. Some argue this was the setting for an encampment of an army before the Battle of Brunanburh. Others believe it is a cross dyke, perhaps sharing its history with other neolithic features in the area.
Broadclough Buildings
Broadclough historically sat in the Forest of Rossendale’s Newchurch township, being a clough within the Bacup Booth. It was the seat of the Whittaker family, who held the position of Greave of the Forest as a quasi-hereditary title from around 1515. The hall was originally built around 1596, with a coach house believed to date from circa 1750 featuring a rare recessed frontage with veranda.
