| Administrative History | These records relate to the Greenall, Lyon and Whitley families, and business and personal concerns or social issues in which they had interests. Thomas Greenall bought interests in a cotton mill, Hardshaw Colliery and Kiln. Through the Lyon family's links with the Parrs, the Greenall family were associated with the National Westminster bank, and glass making through Peter Greenall's marriage to Eleanor Pilkington. There are also some records of the Greenall family's estates in Eccleston and Windle. |
