Dolly Manley (nee Preston)1799-1874 married William Manley 1801-34. They had three sons and four daughters. Dolly first ran a business at Paradise Hill and later a grocery shop at Dolly's Croft where the Railway Hotel, Nelson, now stands.

She took her groceries by hand cart between Colne and Burnley, making her one of the first carriers in the district. Also, she was one of the founders of the Salem chapel, the first being above the Dandy shop in lower Barkerhouse Road. This later moved to Scotland Road, where today the Victory Centre now stands.

Dolly later married one Tommy Watson by whom she had three more children. Her son by this marriage married into the well-to-do family of Every-Clayton of Carr Hall.

She died at the then ripe old age of 73 on October 31st 1874.
