Granny Hall Lane took its name from Granny Hall, an old house which stood near the junction with what is now Granny Hall Lane and Blackburn Road. The house has long gone and the site is now a pleasant area of well kept gardens.
Joseph Horsfall Turner who wrote the book 'Brighouse, Rastrick and Hipperholme' along with many other highly collectable local history books was born at Granny Hall on April 10th 1845.
Although Granny Hall was not considered to be architecturally outstanding, it did however have a number of unique features. These included diamond shaped flagstones, oak panelling and one bedroom in particular, which had a very fine piece or ornate plaster work. The plaster showed the royal arms indicating the owner in 1648 was a Royalist.
