Barrowford is a large village and civil parish situated in the Pendle district of Lancashire, North-West England, situated to the North of Nelson and part of the Nelson conurbation. At the time of the 2001 census it had a population of 6,039. Barrowford is situated on the Marsden–Long Preston Turnpike (the town of Nelson was called Marsden before the battle of Trafalgar in 1805....... it was re-named in honour of the admiral). One of the original toll houses dating from 1804–05 can still be seen at the junction with the road to Colne, complete with a table of the tolls which were paid. The toll house was restored in the 1980s and is owned by the Trust which operates nearby Pendle Heritage Centre. For those viewers too young to remember pre-decimal British currency, the "s" in the list of prices stands for Shilling (5p in today's money) and the "d" stands for Pence or Penny (a penny was 1/12th of a shilling).
