About Sharneyford

The air in Sharneyford often carries the scent of damp earth and the distant, murmuring breath of the moors. It lies 2.0 km north-east of Bacup (from Bacup: bearing 49°T, OS grid SD 883 243), and is situated south-east of Weir village. This small Rossendale settlement, a place where the sky seems to stretch with an unusual breadth, has long been a quiet observer of the surrounding Pennine landscape. The stone cottages, their roofs often slicked with the persistent Lancashire mist, seem to huddle together as if sharing secrets whispered by the wind that sweeps down from the higher ground. Though its industrial past, tied to the mills that once powered the region, has faded, a certain resilience remains, a quiet strength in the way the houses face the elements. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can transform the commonplace into something luminous, catching the green velvet of the hillsides and lending a fleeting gold to the wet slate of the roofs.
