Elm Street Mill. Built in 1880 as a room-and-power-mill (ie for rent) it was owned by W Melland & Co and leased to four weaving firms. The mill consisted of a three storey block with engine and boiler houses, and a single storey weaving shed. An octagonal chimney was built next to the engine house. A replacment cross-compound engine of 1926 built by Galloways Ltd of Manchester for this mill is now in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry as it was the the last reciprocating steam engine to power a textile mill. The mill closed in 1967. Most of the weaving shed and front block survive along with the truncated chimney, but the three-storey block was demolished in the late C20.

Ebenezer Chapel (Baptist). This was built in 1860 on the site of earlier schools that had been built in 1845. To its east is the attached original chapel of 1787, which was converted to schools when the new chapel was built, and suffered a fire in 2019. To its south-west (left) is the new school that was built in 1872, extending closer to Burnley Lane/Colne Road. This is currently (2025) a supermarket.

Thursby Gardens. In the late C19 a tennis court (and probably bowling greens) was laid out where the Prestige factory entrance now is. Between 1912 and 1931 formal gardens were laid out further to the north. They were bisected by a wide path/narrow road to Bank Top station, which was only removed in the late C20/ early C21.

former stone yard; in the eartly C19 this was Bolt Dock Yard, and there was a short arm off the canal (possibly a dry dock). By the 1890s it had become a stone yard and it was still in use in the 1930s, but disused by 1960.

Former tramway connecting Bank Hall Colliery with the railway goods sidings - you can see where the bridge over the canal has been dismantled by this date. The colliery opened in the late 1860s and closed in 1925. This is now the site of Viking Place home for the elderly.

Burnely Central Station (originally Bank Top) goods depot and sidings, with the former Bankhouse Iron Works and Albert Shed cotton weaving mill behind. All now the site of a retail park and supermarket.

Bank Hall maternity and children's hospital. Bank Hall had been a military hospital during the First World War and soon after changed to this use. There's now a nursing home on the site, but most of the original building appears to have been demolished.

Former open-air school, built immediately after the First World War on the site of Bank Hall's former greenhouses/nursery. For 'physically defective children' the school catered for those who benefitted from fresh air, probably mainly those with respiratory problems. Bank Hall had been a military hospital during the war, and afterwards opened as a maternity and childrens hospital, so the school was probably closely connected with the hospital and its patients.
