Fell End

Photograph at the Fell End blue plaque

Fell End This is the oldest part of Longridge. This building housed the boys school, built in 1832, replacing a nearby one built in 173l. It was part of the early nucleus of the village, with chapel, former Duke William public house and police station. The Chapel Hill quarries supplied stone for the nearby Alston Reservoirs. The first skirmish of the 1648 Battle of Preston, between Cromwell and Royalist troops, began at Fell End.
